Senate Bill | No. 782 |
Introduced by Senator Skinner |
February 17, 2017 |
Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Existing law requires the PUC to make certain information regarding electric service and electrical corporations available on its Internet Web site.
This bill would require the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to develop a system for assigning a global unique identifier for each building within the state. The bill would require electrical corporations, electric service providers, and local publicly owned electric utilities, within one year after the commission discloses the addresses and global unique identifier of each building, to assign the global unique identifier
of each building to the aggregated electricity usage data of all customers in the same building for those buildings within their respective service territories. Because this bill would impose additional duties on local publicly owned electric utilities, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
Existing law requires
each utility to maintain records of the energy usage data of all buildings to which it provides service for at least the most recent 12 complete calendar months and, upon the request and written authorization or secure electronic authorization of the owner, owner’s agent, or operator of a covered building, to deliver or otherwise provide aggregated energy usage data for a covered building to the owner, owner’s agent, building operator, or to the owner’s account in the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Existing law defines a “covered building” to be a building with certain numbers and types of utility accounts.
This bill would additionally require an electrical or gas utility to provide to the owner, owner’s agent, or operator of a property with 2 or more buildings located on a single parcel or adjacent parcels, with same owner of record and with 5 or more active utility accounts, in aggregate, upon request, aggregate energy usage data for those buildings. Because this
bill would impose additional duties on local publicly owned electric utilities, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(a)To facilitate the tracking of electricity usage data of buildings in the state, the commission shall, to the extent resources are available, by rulemaking after notice and opportunity for comment, establish a system for assigning a global unique identifier for each building in the state based on the building’s footprint using geographic information systems.
(b)Within one year after the commission has disclosed to the electrical corporations, as defined in Section 218 of the Public Utilities Code,
electric service providers, as defined in Section 218.3 of the Public Utilities Code, and local publicly owned electric utilities, as defined in Section 224.3 of the Public Utilities Code, the addresses and global unique identifier of each building assigned a global unique identifier pursuant to subdivision (a), each electrical corporation, electric service provider, and local publicly owned electric utility shall assign the global unique identifier of the building to the aggregated electricity usage data of all customers in the same building for buildings within its service territory to the extent that the address of the building disclosed by the commission matches the address of the customer or customers served by the electrical corporation, electric service provider, or
local publicly owned electric utility.
