EFC received a grant from the United States Department of Energy to help launch a Utility Energy Registry in the state of Maryland. EFC is convening stakeholders across the government, utility, and non-profit sectors to determine the structure and process of setting up a comprehensive registry of utility data that will be publicly accessible and regularly updated. The goal will be an online platform that contains aggregate electricity usage data by municipality or zip code for different types of customers (residential, commercial, and industrial). Access to this information will enable communities to better understand their energy usage patterns and to develop energy and climate mitigation plans. EFC is working in partnership with the Maryland Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) on this initiative, tapping into that agency's longstanding relationship with the region's utility companies and government agencies.
