AI Summary

This bill requires gas and electric companies to file annual schedules with the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) that disclose residential and commercial energy usage data for each municipality, including average energy use per customer, total energy use, and average climate change emissions per kilowatt-hour and per BTU. Electric companies must also report the percentage of each fuel type used to generate electricity. The DPU must make this data publicly available on its website, allowing for year-over-year and municipality-to-municipality comparisons. The bill also requires gas and electric companies to report on energy assessment requests, energy efficiency upgrade contracts, and completed upgrades for each municipality, and the DPU must publish this data on its website as well.
