Bill > H1761

This bill aims to promote transparency within the natural gas and electric distribution sectors in Massachusetts. It requires gas and electric companies to file annual reports with the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) on various energy use metrics, including total energy use and number of residential and commercial customers in each municipality, average energy use per residential customer, and average climate change emissions. The DPU is then required to make this data publicly available on its website in a format that allows for comparison across municipalities and over time. The bill also requires gas and electric companies to report on the number of households that request energy assessments, sign contracts for energy efficiency upgrades, and complete those upgrades, as well as the average dollars spent and energy reductions per household. The DPU must publish this information on its website as well.
