Bill Summary

Relative to electric ratepayer protections. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to prohibit electricity suppliers, energy marketers, and energy brokers from executing new generation service contracts with individual residential retail customers starting on January 1, 2022. The bill explicitly exempts government bodies that aggregate the load of residential retail customers as part of a municipal aggregation plan. Any violation of this provision would be considered an unfair and deceptive act under the state's consumer protection law, Chapter 93A, allowing the Attorney General to take legal action to enforce the provision and obtain restitution, civil penalties, and other relief.
