Bill > HB2131

This bill amends Pennsylvania law concerning the restructuring of the electric utility industry by further defining the duties of electric distribution companies, which are the companies responsible for delivering electricity to homes and businesses. Specifically, it addresses what happens when a customer's contract with an electric generation supplier, the company that provides the actual electricity, expires. If a customer doesn't actively choose a new contract by the end of their current fixed-term agreement, the electric generation supplier must automatically switch that customer back to the default service provider, which is typically the electric distribution company, and charge them the default service rate. The bill also mandates that within 60 days of its effective date, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (the commission) will require each electric distribution company to submit a plan to implement this new rule.
