Bill > H2900

This bill requires gas and electric companies to annually report detailed energy usage data for each municipality to the department of public utilities, which will then make this information publicly available online. This data will include the total energy used and the number of residential and commercial customers, as well as the average energy use per customer in each municipality. Electric companies will also need to disclose the percentage of different fuels used to generate electricity, presented in a pie chart. Additionally, the bill mandates reporting on household participation in energy assessments and efficiency upgrades, including the number of households requesting assessments, signing contracts, and completing upgrades, along with the average cost and energy savings per household. The department of public utilities is tasked with updating this information on its website within seven business days of any changes, ensuring the data is easily comparable year-over-year and between municipalities, and presented prominently with both numerical data and graphs.
