Bill Summary
For legislation relative to energy supply competition. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote customer choice and convenience in a restructured electricity and gas market. It requires electric and gas bills to be unbundled to separately reflect the rates charged for generation, transmission, and distribution services, as well as any other charges. The bill also provides three billing options for customers: 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. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Public Utilities to determine the manner in which information about non-commodity products and services is presented in customers' bills. The bill also directs the Department to promulgate regulations necessary to allow non-utility competitive suppliers to issue bills.
