AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for utility data access in Illinois, aimed at improving energy efficiency and providing building owners and tenants with greater insights into their utility consumption. The legislation requires utilities of various sizes (categorized as large, medium, or small qualified utilities) to retain monthly consumption data for 7 to 15 years, depending on the year of consumption. Account holders can request their utility data through a convenient and secure process, potentially via an online portal, and data recipients can request and receive corrections for erroneous data. The bill mandates that utilities provide covered usage data to qualified data recipients within specific timeframes, typically 30-90 days after a valid request, and requires the data to be delivered in formats compatible with benchmarking tools like ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. The legislation applies to various utility types, including electricity, gas, water, and district energy, and sets clear guidelines for data aggregation, privacy, and sharing. Importantly, the bill aims to protect consumer confidentiality while enabling building owners and tenants to access and analyze their utility consumption data, with the ultimate goal of promoting energy efficiency, reducing costs, and supporting economic development in the state.
