AN ACT REQUIRING A REPORT FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION CONCERNING BATTERY STORAGE.

SB 90 requires Connecticut's Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to submit a report to the General Assembly about battery storage technology. The report must detail the costs of battery storage, how these costs affect utility bills for ratepayers, and the environmental impacts of manufacturing and disposing of the technology. It specifically asks for explanations of the battery storage systems used by each public utility company. This bill focuses on transparency around energy storage costs and environmental effects, not on changing existing laws or policies.
