Gianforte Issues Executive Order to Ensure Montanans Stay Warm

Governor Greg Gianforte issued Executive Order 2-2024 declaring a state of energy emergency to make it easier for carriers to supply much-needed propane, heating oil, and diesel fuel during harsh winter conditions.

“Montanans have seen harsh winter weather this week, affecting families through power outages, frozen water supply lines, loss of heat, ice jams, and supply chain disruption,” Gov. Gianforte said. “This executive order will ensure the timely and necessary delivery of petroleum products so that Montanans can continue to heat their homes.”
