Bill > HB05246

This bill makes minor technical adjustments to existing laws concerning energy and technology, primarily focusing on clarifying procedures and timelines. Specifically, it modifies a provision related to the Connecticut Siting Council, ensuring that evaluations and draft reports by the department and the Office of Consumer Counsel are completed and shared with electric distribution companies at least ninety days before an application is filed, provided the company gives twelve months' advance notice of the filing date. It also clarifies that financing orders and competitive transition assessments, which are used to recover costs related to electricity infrastructure, are irrevocable and cannot be altered by regulatory authorities to revalue or reduce stranded costs or financed utility services. Finally, the bill corrects a grammatical error in a statute requiring the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to report annually on energy efficiency goals and related policies to the legislative committee overseeing energy and technology matters.
