Bill Summary

For legislation to protect residential electric customers. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits energy suppliers, marketers, and brokers from executing new contracts for generation services with individual residential retail customers starting January 1, 2020. However, this does not apply to municipal aggregation plans that aggregate the load of residential retail customers. Any violation of this provision is considered an unfair and deceptive act under Chapter 93A, allowing the Attorney General to bring an action to enforce the provision and obtain remedies such as restitution, civil penalties, and injunctive relief.
