CT HB05484

Modifies electric supplier billing requirements to include three options: direct billing for generation services only, direct billing for all service components, or using electric distribution company billing services.

Creates framework for "supplier clean energy facilities" owned or operated by electric suppliers, allowing customers to subscribe and receive billing credits for renewable energy generated by these Class I renewable energy sources.

Requires billing credits from renewable energy subscriptions to be applied against all bill components and carried forward monthly if they exceed charges; electric distribution companies may recover lost revenues through rate adjustments or congestion charges.

Mandates electric distribution companies include smart thermostat installation programs in conservation plans, offering devices and installation to residential ratepayers for $50, with excess costs reimbursed from the Energy Conservation and Load Management Fund.

Permits electric distribution companies and suppliers to establish residential demand response programs allowing customers with smart thermostats to opt-in and allow remote thermostat adjustments, with ability to terminate participation at any time.
