Summary

The bill directs the Maine General Fund to cover costs that utilities normally recover through customer rates, such as energy procurement, renewable credits, storage, and net‑energy billing credits. It also limits low‑income assistance participants to standard‑offer service and requires time‑of‑use rates for residential and small‑commercial customers. By shifting these expenses to the state, the measure aims to lower the price of electricity for all ratepayers.
