PURA Seeks Comments on Allowing Nonprofits to Aggregate Meters

The Connecticut PURA has sought comments on implementing Public Act No. 14-94, which requires PURA to study, "the feasibility of allowing a nonprofit entity to aggregate electric meters that are billable to such entity. "

PURA requested comment on, among other things:

• Based on the language of the provision or evidence in its legislative history, what is meant by the words "allowing a nonprofit to aggregate electric meters that are billable to such entity"?

• Based on the language of the provision or evidence in its legislative history, what are the "nonprofit entities" the legislature intends to be covered in the study?

• Based on the language of the provision or evidence in its legislative history, discuss the meaning of "feasibility." Also discuss whether or not it is physically and mechanically possible or feasible to allow a nonprofit entity to aggregate all of its electric meters for the purposes of receiving one aggregate bill from an electric distribution company or electric supplier.

• Discuss whether for-profit entities in Connecticut are allowed to aggregate electric meters that are billable to such entity. Provide any relevant background information regarding the appropriateness of allowing an electric customer to aggregate meters for billing purposes.

• Discuss the relationship, if any, of the concept of "allowing a nonprofit to aggregate electric meters that are billable to such entity" to the concept of being an "Electric Aggregator."
