The proposed General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6780 establishes an "Energy Data Access Bill of Rights" aimed at ensuring Connecticut 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, it mandates the creation of a public website and centralized database to facilitate access to this information, as well as the right for residents to view and share their own energy usage data collected by electric distribution companies.

The bill emphasizes that these rights are subject to existing laws and regulations at both the state and federal levels. It does not propose any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish the framework for residents' access to energy-related data. The overarching goal of the bill is to empower residents with the information necessary to set informed climate targets and effectively monitor progress towards achieving those targets.
