AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 164 of the General Laws to require electric and gas bills sent to retail customers to be unbundled, separately reflecting the rates charged for generation, transmission, and distribution services, as well as any other charges. It provides options for billing, including a single bill from the distribution company, two bills (one from the non-utility supplier and one from the distribution company), or a single bill from the non-utility supplier. The bill also requires the Department of Public Utilities to investigate the impact of the competitive energy supply market on residential customers, the jobs and economic activity generated, and the amount and impact of renewable energy used by competitive energy supply residential customers. Additionally, the bill requires the Department to promulgate regulations to allow non-utility competitive suppliers to issue bills.
