An act relating to establishing a thermal benefits charge

H 224 would establish a new charge on heating fuel purchases to fund energy efficiency programs for thermal energy (like home heating). This charge would directly affect customers who buy heating fuel, with the revenue specifically targeting improvements to home energy efficiency. The bill includes a cap to limit how much the charge can be, ensuring it doesn't exceed a set maximum amount. The Public Utility Commission recommended this approach, and the bill aims to implement it as written.
