SB 500

Existing law requires each utility, on and after January 1, 2017, to, upon the request and authorization of the owner, owner’s agent, or operator of a covered building, as defined, deliver or otherwise provide aggregated energy usage data for a covered building to the owner, owner’s agent, or building operator, or to the owner’s account in the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, as specified. This bill would authorize a utility to satisfy that requirement by delivering or otherwise providing aggregated energy usage data to the owner’s account in any alternative system or tool approved by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission.
