Energy Data and Utility Bill Audit in New Haven
MartinAI turns the utility bills behind every building in New Haven, Connecticut into clean, audited, report-ready data, across electricity, gas, water, steam, and more.
For owners, operators, and energy teams in New Haven, the utility bill is the single most complete source of truth about a building, and the hardest to use. Finance, insurance, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing anchor the economy, and the older building stock across the dense southern cities shapes retrofit demand. MartinAI exists to turn that source into structured, trustworthy data. As a city in the United States, New Haven has its own utilities, regulator, and reporting rules, and this page covers what that means for your data.
The energy picture in New Haven
| Grid carbon intensity | about 244 g CO2e/kWh (2023) |
|---|---|
| Grid mix | Gas 61%, nuclear 34%, with small shares of hydro, biomass, and solar (eGRID2023). |
| Main electricity utilities | Eversource Energy and United Illuminating (Avangrid) |
| Main gas utilities | Eversource (Yankee Gas), Connecticut Natural Gas, and Southern Connecticut Gas |
| Energy regulator | Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) |
New Haven draws from the Connecticut grid, so its electricity carbon intensity reflects that grid. At about 244 grams of CO2e per kilowatt-hour (2023), electricity here carries a middling carbon intensity. Both electricity and fuel reductions move the number, which makes accurate, commodity-by-commodity data the difference between a defensible emissions figure and a guess.

Every utility bill read across electricity, gas, water, steam, and fuels, normalized to consistent units and periods.
Bill audit
Rate class, demand, tax, and meter mapping checked against the tariff and the meter to recover overcharges.
Benchmarking
Clean records that feed ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and internal intensity comparisons across sites.
Emissions reporting
Consumption paired with the right local emission factor for defensible Scope 1 and Scope 2 numbers.
Utility bill audit in New Haven
Utility bills carry errors more often than most teams expect. Independent figures put billing mistakes at 2.5 to 10 percent of spend and estimate that 15 to 20 percent of invoices contain errors. A bill audit in New Haven means checking rate classes, demand charges, tax treatment, and meter mapping against what the tariff and the meter actually say, then recovering what was overpaid.
Reporting and compliance in Connecticut
Connecticut has no statewide mandatory benchmarking or building performance standard for private buildings. The state benchmarks its own facilities under the Lead by Example and GreenerGov programs, and no major Connecticut city currently runs a mandatory private building benchmarking ordinance.

What is the grid carbon intensity in New Haven?
Grid electricity in New Haven, which sits on the Connecticut grid, is about 244 grams of CO2e per kilowatt-hour (2023). MartinAI pairs your validated consumption with the right local emission factor so your Scope 2 numbers are accurate.
Do you help with energy reporting rules in Connecticut?
Connecticut has no statewide mandatory benchmarking or building performance standard for private buildings. The state benchmarks its own facilities under the Lead by Example and GreenerGov programs, and no major Connecticut city currently runs a mandatory private building benchmarking ordinance. MartinAI produces the clean, traceable data those reports depend on.
How is this different from reading bills by hand?
Manual entry is slow and error prone, and the errors flow straight into your cost and emissions numbers. MartinAI reads and validates automatically, flags anomalies, and keeps every figure traceable back to the source bill, so the data holds up under an audit.
