Utility Energy Registry Monthly Community Energy Use: Beginning 2021

The Utility Energy Registry (UER) is a database platform that provides streamlined public access to aggregated community-scale energy data. The UER is intended to promote and facilitate community-based energy planning and energy use awareness and engagement. On April 19, 2018, the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) issued the Order Adopting the Utility Energy Registry under regulatory CASE 17-M-0315, and updated the protocol in a modification order on August 12, 2021. The order requires utilities and CCA administrators under its regulation to develop and report community energy use data to the UER. This dataset includes electricity and natural gas usage data reported at the city, town, and village level. Other UER datasets include energy use data reported at the county and ZIP code level.

Data in the UER can be used for several important purposes such as planning community energy programs, developing community greenhouse gas emissions inventories, and relating how certain energy projects and policies may affect a particular community. It is important to note that the data are subject to privacy screening and fields that fail the privacy screen are withheld.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help New Yorkers increase energy efficiency, save money, use renewable energy, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

能源效用登记册（UER）是一个数据库平台，旨在为公众提供便捷的访问途径，获取社区规模的能源数据汇总。UER旨在促进和便利社区能源规划，提高能源使用意识和参与度。2018年4月19日，纽约州公共服务委员会（PSC）在监管CASE 17-M-0315下发布了《采用能源效用登记册的命令》，并于2021年8月12日发布了修改命令以更新协议。该命令要求受其监管的公用事业公司和社区协作管理员（CCA）向UER开发和报告社区能源使用数据。该数据集包括城市、镇和村庄级别的电力和天然气使用数据。UER的其他数据集包括县和ZIP代码级别的能源使用数据。

UER中的数据可用于多种重要用途，例如规划社区能源项目、开发社区温室气体排放清单以及关联特定能源项目和政策如何影响特定社区。值得注意的是，数据受到隐私筛查，未通过隐私筛查的字段将被保留。

纽约州能源研究与开发局（NYSERDA）提供客观信息和分析、创新项目、技术专长和支持，以帮助纽约州居民提高能源效率、节省资金、使用可再生能源并减少对化石燃料的依赖。欲了解更多关于NYSERDA项目的信息，请访问nyserda.ny.gov或关注我们的X、Facebook、YouTube或Instagram。
