This bill proposes the repeal of the multi-use energy data platform, which includes the removal of several sections of the Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) related to the platform's definitions, establishment, requirements, certification, and cost recovery. Specifically, the bill repeals RSA 378:50 through RSA 378:54, effectively eliminating the obligation for electric and natural gas utilities to create and maintain a statewide online energy data platform. The repeal is set to take effect 60 days after the bill's passage.

The fiscal impact of this repeal is significant, as it removes the requirement for utilities to invest in the platform, which was estimated to cost between $4.6 million and $7 million for initial setup, with ongoing annual costs ranging from $272,800 to $416,400. These costs would have likely been passed on to ratepayers, including state and municipal entities. By repealing the platform, the bill is expected to result in an indeterminable decrease in expenditures for state, county, and local governments, as they will no longer bear the financial burden associated with the platform's development and operation.
