An Act To Limit Rates Charged To Low-Income Electricity Consumers

Summary

The act prohibits any competitive electricity provider from entering into or renewing a generation contract with a residential consumer who receives low‑income assistance if the contract would charge a rate higher than the state's standard‑offer service rate. It applies to low‑income households that qualify for assistance under existing statutes and to the providers that serve them. The Public Utilities Commission is tasked with creating rules to enforce the limit and manage related data sharing.
