Bill > SB312

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Utility Code to modify the rules for electric distribution companies when a customer's existing fixed-duration contract with an electric generation supplier expires. Specifically, if a customer does not take active steps to enter a new contract by their current contract's termination date, they will be automatically returned to the default service provider and charged that provider's current default service rate. The Public Utility Commission is required to issue an order within 60 days compelling each electric distribution company to submit a compliance filing that implements this automatic return mechanism. The bill provides a standard 60-day implementation period from its effective date, which is designed to ensure a smooth transition for customers who might otherwise be left without an electricity provider when their existing contract ends. This provision aims to provide continuity of electric service and prevent potential disruptions in electricity supply for consumers.
