The Energy and Telecommunications Interim Committee (ETIC) has just completed a publication to assist the public in learning about energy issues in Montana.

A Citizen's Guide to Montana Energy Law provides an overview of laws related to energy generation, transmission, and consumption in Montana. This handbook is similar to past editions of the Electricity Law Handbook. However, this edition has been reorganized and updated to incorporate changes in energy law enacted by the 2011 Legislature. It includes an abbreviated summary of state laws, organized by energy source, that regulate the development of the energy source, tax that energy source, and provide incentives for the development of the energy resource.

If you'd like copies, please respond to this notice and include your name and address. If you have questions about the publication or the ETIC, contact Sonja Nowakowski at 444-3078 or snowakowski@mt.gov.
