Northwestern Energy Seeks Wind Power

Northwestern Energy is looking for wind power to add to their electricity mix.

Spokesman Tom Glanzer says they are looking for bidders that want to sell them 20 to 50 mega watts of electricity.

Glanzer says they want to start small, but expect to add more as they go.

Glanzer says they expect the wind power project to be built close to their service areas.

They expect to make a decision on a supplier by next summer.
