The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature that emphasizes the state's potential for renewable energy development and its associated economic benefits. It highlights the high energy costs faced by Montanans, which rank among the highest in the nation, and points out that renewable energy sources like wind and solar are becoming increasingly cost-effective. Despite Montana's significant potential for renewable energy—ranking second in wind and fourth in solar—its current installed capacities are relatively low. The resolution notes that the development of renewable energy infrastructure could create approximately 20,000 new jobs and significantly boost the state's energy sector.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the substantial tax revenue generated from renewable energy projects, which has contributed to local economies. It calls for the responsible development of renewable energy projects in Montana, recognizing the importance of using skilled local labor and providing family-sustaining wages. The resolution also emphasizes the advancements in battery storage technology that enhance the reliability of renewable energy, making it feasible to integrate these resources into the state's electric grid. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key stakeholders, including the Governor and members of the Montana Public Service Commission.
