relative to utility default service.

Summary

The bill would require the public utilities commission to establish default electric service that acts as a safety net, ensures universal access, and is procured through competitive markets. It directs that costs—including those from renewable portfolio standards and any past over‑ or under‑collections—be recovered through the default service charges paid by customers. The commission could also adopt measures to discourage long‑term reliance on default service, using any revenues to offset stranded costs.
