To increase the required energy savings that must be achieved by “energy optimization plans” that utilities are mandated to undertake and pay for with surcharges on customer bills, establish new “pay-back period” rules on the money utilities spend on this; require 1 percent of the spending be allocated to research and commercialization of conservation innovations, and more. The bill would also require utilities to retain hour-by-hour customer use data for at least seven years.
