AI Summary

This bill aims to increase the transparency of municipal energy data by requiring utilities regulated by the Department to make certain energy consumption and peak demand data available to municipalities on an annual basis. The bill specifies that utilities must provide aggregate annual energy consumption data for residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal sectors, as well as anonymized annual energy consumption data at the zip code and census tract levels, for up to 5 prior years. Additionally, the bill requires utilities to provide daily 15-minute peak demand data for commercial and municipal buildings, and aggregate daily 15-minute peak demand data for the residential sector, for up to 1 prior year. The Department is also granted the authority to establish rules and regulations for the implementation of this new data-sharing requirement.
