House Bill No. 5246, also known as Public Act No. 26-30, introduces several technical revisions to existing statutes concerning energy and technology. Notably, it repeals and replaces specific legal language in sections 16-50mm, 16-245i, and 16a-3v of the 2026 supplement to the general statutes. For instance, it mandates that evaluations by the department or the Office of Consumer Counsel must be completed and shared with electric distribution companies at least ninety days before any application or petition is filed with the Connecticut Siting Council, contingent upon the companies notifying the department of their anticipated filing date at least twelve months in advance.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that financing orders and competitive transition assessments are irrevocable, preventing the authority from altering or amending these orders in a way that would affect stranded costs or the value of transition property. It also establishes a reporting requirement for the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection, who must report annually on load factors and strategies to achieve system efficiency goals, with the first report due by April 1, 2026. The language changes include the deletion of certain phrases and the insertion of new terms to enhance clarity and precision in the statutes.
