An act relating to access to utility energy consumption data and establishment of an energy storage program

This bill requires Vermont utilities to provide building owners, tenants, and other authorized parties with access to their energy consumption data while protecting individual privacy through aggregation. It establishes specific rules for how utilities must store data, including a requirement to keep billing records for at least 15 years, and defines which buildings qualify for data access based on the number of utility accounts they contain. The legislation also creates a framework for an energy storage program and sets up a process for the Public Service Commission to develop detailed procedures for implementing these data sharing requirements by October 2024.
