Electric Retail Customer Choice and Third-Party Electric Suppliers
Scrivener's error corrected
Summary
The bill creates a new chapter in the state code that lets eligible commercial and industrial electric users (those needing at least 100 kW) purchase all or part of their power from third‑party suppliers or on‑site generators. It sets contract rules, cost‑sharing for transmission upgrades, and requires the Public Service Commission to approve a standard contract by early 2027. The change aims to give big customers more choice while protecting the incumbent utility’s financial interests.
