Enhanced Consumer Access to Energy Data: New Rights for Utility Customers.
This bill grants electricity and gas consumers easy, free access to detailed information about their energy usage and costs. This empowers citizens to use new applications and services that help them better manage energy, reduce bills, and improve home energy efficiency. The legislation also establishes security and privacy standards for shared data while promoting competition in the digital energy tools market.
Key points
You gain free, electronic access to your historical (minimum 24 months) and real-time electricity and natural gas usage data, including prices and fees.
You can securely authorize third-party companies (e.g., app developers) to analyze your data to find savings and better rates, maintaining high privacy standards.
Energy providers must use open, standardized data exchange methods (like Green Button Connect My Data) and cannot restrict competition in energy management applications.
