The bill H.224, introduced by Representative Mrowicki, aims to implement a thermal benefits charge as recommended by the Public Utility Commission. This charge will be applied to heating fuel and is intended to generate funding for thermal energy efficiency measures. Additionally, the bill proposes to establish a cap on the amount that can be charged for this thermal benefits charge, ensuring that there is a limit to the financial impact on consumers.
Overall, the legislation seeks to promote energy efficiency in heating systems while providing a structured approach to funding these initiatives through a regulated charge on heating fuel. The introduction of this charge and the accompanying cap are key components of the bill, designed to balance the need for energy efficiency with consumer protection.
