House Joint Resolution No. 15 expresses the Montana Legislature's support for increasing electric transmission capacity within the state and across state 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 for skilled Montana-based labor and increased tax revenues for local and state governments.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the construction of new transmission lines and the reconductoring of existing lines with modern technologies to achieve system benefits at lower costs. It concludes by directing that copies of the resolution be sent to various stakeholders, including the Governor of Montana, neighboring state governors, and relevant energy organizations, to advocate for the importance of upgrading and expanding the electric transmission infrastructure in Montana.
