Overview
This bill updates California law to allow utilities to provide aggregated energy usage data to building owners or through alternative systems approved by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission. Previously, utilities had to deliver this data directly to the owner’s account in the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. The bill expands the options for data delivery and clarifies requirements for aggregated data, including how it should be handled and disclosed.
Key provisions
- Utilities can now deliver aggregated energy usage data through approved alternative systems.
- The State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission will oversee the approval of alternative systems.
- Utilities must provide aggregated data to building owners within four weeks of a request.
- For buildings with three or more utility accounts, utilities must provide aggregated data for all utility customers in the building.
- The commission will develop regulations for benchmarking energy use and public disclosure.
- Regulations will address data collection, disclosure requirements, and potential exemptions for smaller buildings.
- Utilities are not liable for misuse or disclosure of the delivered data.
- Local benchmarking programs are permitted alongside state requirements.
