This bill repeals the requirement for electric and natural gas utilities to establish and jointly operate a statewide, multi-use online energy data platform.
The repeal eliminates the obligation for utilities to invest in the development and ongoing operation of the platform.
The Department of Energy states the exact cost of establishing the platform would not be known until an RFP was issued, however preliminary estimates suggest initial utility operational costs between $4.6 million and $7 million, with annual ongoing costs ranging from $272,800 to $416,400.
These costs would likely have been passed on to ratepayers, including state and municipal entities, through utility rates.
In the event the multi-use online energy data platform was operational, this repeal would result in an indeterminable decrease in state, counties and local governments expenditures.
