The Connecticut Energy Data Access Bill of Rights, established by General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6780, aims to ensure that residents have access to essential data that supports the state's climate goals and renewable energy targets. Effective October 1, 2025, the bill outlines specific rights for residents, including the ability to view data related to the state's building stock, registered vehicles, renewable energy sources, and energy storage projects. Additionally, residents will have access to a centralized database and a public website containing this information, as well as the right to view and share their own energy usage data collected by electric distribution companies.

The bill emphasizes that these rights will be implemented in accordance with existing laws, regulations, and constitutional provisions. It does not propose any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish these rights and the framework for accessing the relevant data. The overarching purpose of the bill is to facilitate public access to data necessary for setting informed climate targets and monitoring progress towards achieving them.
