Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Land purchase/sale agreement for a 606.5-acre parcel in the Montana Connections Industrial Park was still contingent on closing, with the deadline extended to Feb 11, 2026.
Underlying source
Source notes
Sabey withdrew/terminated its buy-sell agreement on 2026-05-13 after REC Silicon exercised a right of first refusal (dating to 1996) over part of the 606.5-acre Montana Connections parcel in April 2026. The project had planned an initial 50MW of power under a non-binding LOI with NorthWestern Energy for 2027, with scalability to 250MW+ by 2029; the higher figure is an aspirational scale-up target and is not recorded as capacity. Butte-Silver Bow officials said afterward they were working with Sabey to identify an alternative parcel within or adjacent to the same industrial park; no replacement site was confirmed in the sources checked as of 2026-09-13. The coordinate is a road-level OSM Nominatim geocode of German Gulch Road near the Ramsay/Ramsay-Butte area (Silver Bow County), not a confirmed parcel boundary.
NorthWestern Energy was to supply 50 MW beginning in 2027, with expansion potential to 250 MW or more by 2029.
