House Joint Resolution No. 15 expresses the Montana Legislature's support for increasing electric transmission capacity within the state and across its borders. The resolution highlights the need for updated electrical transmission infrastructure to meet modern technological demands and to address the challenges posed by limited access to affordable power, which has already led to the loss of significant industrial employers in Montana. It emphasizes that enhancing transmission capacity is crucial for fostering economic growth, ensuring grid reliability, and unlocking the state's energy development potential. The resolution also notes the economic benefits of such projects, including job creation and tax revenue for local and state governments.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the prioritization of skilled Montana-based labor in electric transmission projects and suggests that reconductoring existing lines with modern technologies can yield benefits at lower costs. It concludes by directing that copies of the resolution be sent to various stakeholders, including the Governor of Montana and other relevant state and federal entities, to advocate for the necessary improvements in the state's electric transmission infrastructure.
