Introduced Text

Montana HB670 requires public utilities to transfer unused customer-generated kilowatt-hour credits to low-income energy assistance programs.

Montana HB670 amends the Montana Code Annotated to require public utilities to transfer any unused kilowatt-hour credits generated by customers to funds for low-income energy assistance programs. These credits, which accumulate when customers generate more electricity than they consume, must be credited to the fund established for low-income energy assistance programs. The bill also mandates that departments of environmental quality and public health and human services administer and expend these funds on universal system benefits programs, including low-income energy assistance.
