Utilities Required To Create Renewable Energy

MONTANA, May 27 2008 (Neo Natura) - Montana code 69-3-2004 requires most energy providers to produce atleast 5% of their energy through renewable resources. In 2010 they are required to produce 10%, and in 2015 they are required to produce 15% from renewables.

The law lists the accepted types of renewables energy sources as wind, solar, geothermal, water power below 10MW, biogas, nontoxic biomass, and hydrogen fuel cells. The law mirrors the federal bill regarding nuclear power in the manner that it is not considered renewable.
