Overview: HB 25-1268, Utility On-Bill Repayment Program Financing, was introduced in the House on February 18, 2025. The bill has been postponed indefinitely by the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to establish a utility on-bill repayment program to provide financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements for residential and small commercial customers. The program is intended to make these improvements more accessible and affordable for customers.
Key Provisions:
- Authorizes utilities to offer on-bill repayment programs for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects
- Allows utilities to recover the costs of the program through customer charges
- Requires the Public Utilities Commission to establish rules and guidelines for the program
Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would primarily benefit residential and small commercial customers who want to make energy efficiency or renewable energy improvements to their properties but may not have the upfront capital to do so. The on-bill repayment program could make these improvements more accessible and affordable.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been postponed indefinitely by the Senate Committee on Appropriations, which means it is unlikely to move forward in the current legislative session. If the bill is not revived or reintroduced in a future session, it will effectively be dead.
