NorthWestern Energy and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) are discussing the ways they can work together on the Mountain States Transmission Intertie (MSTI) project, which would allow the transfer of renewable and other energy sources from Montana, Idaho and other regional markets. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by both parties will explore the potential of an MSTI project that would meet both parties' needs. "This is a great example of regional transmission planning and coordination," said Brian Silverstein, Senior Vice President, BPA Transmission Services.
