Currently, the project incorporates over 50,000 acres, nearly 100% of the land needed to develop the wind farm’s first phase. Rhyno Stinchfield, CEO and Steve Tyrrel, COO of Montana Wind Resource, along with National Wind’s development team, will jointly manage the wind farm.
Patrick Pelstring, co-chair of National Wind, said: “The local support for Judith Highlands Energy is substantial, in part due to the numerous positive relationships Steve has formed with large landowners throughout the Northern Rockies. That, combined with Rhyno’s 30 years of sustainable energy experience, makes for a strong team.
“Also, area ranchers are realizing that National Wind’s established business model is distinctly different than ‘traditional’, corporate wind farm developments. Our National Wind model seeks to allow local community participation, which provides potential for sharing in both turbine leases and revenues from a successful project.”
