Bill > A09438

This bill amends existing law to require Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) to provide clearer price comparisons on customer bills, specifically for residential and small non-residential customers. The changes mandate that the first page of a customer's bill must show a side-by-side comparison of the price the ESCO charged for commodity service and delivery service versus what the customer would have paid for both from their local utility or municipality. Additionally, ESCOs must itemize the prices for any extra energy-related products they offer. The bill also clarifies that ESCOs are responsible for any costs incurred by utility corporations or municipalities to comply with these new requirements and cannot pass those costs onto customers. The bill also makes technical amendments to ensure these new provisions take effect concurrently with a related 2025 law.
