AN ACT CONCERNING PROTECTIONS FOR CONSUMER ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE ELECTRICITY.

This bill removes a specific charge called the "Combined Public Benefits Charge" from electricity bills for households and businesses. It caps power purchase rates at 150% above wholesale electricity prices, redefines "Class I renewable energy" to include hydropower and nuclear, and ends incentive programs like electric vehicle rebates. The bill also separates energy regulatory oversight from the Department of Energy and requires a study on increasing natural gas supply. These changes aim to reduce costs and increase energy supply for consumers.
