CT HB07252

Electric and gas distribution companies must submit combined Conservation and Load Management Plans to the Energy Conservation Management Board every three years, effective January 1, 2020, to implement cost-effective energy conservation programs and demand management initiatives.

Conservation adjustment mechanisms for electric distribution companies are capped at six mills per kilowatt hour, but shall only apply to the first ___ kilowatt hours sold to commercial and industrial customers (specific threshold to be determined).

Gas company conservation adjustment mechanisms are capped at 4.6 cents per hundred cubic feet during the three-year plan period.

Plans must include weatherization of 80 percent of the state's residential units by 2030 and achieve annual energy consumption reductions of 1.6 million MMBtu through calendar year 2025.

The Energy Conservation Management Board must review and approve all programs, examine opportunities for joint multi-fuel efficiency programs, and give preference to projects that maximize reduction of federally mandated congestion charges.
