An Act To Require The Development Of A Standard Written Disclosure For Sellers And Installers Of Distributed Generation Resources, To Make Changes To Other Standard Disclosures And To Make Misrepresentation In The Sale Of Electricity Products An Unfair Trade Practice

LD 1964 requires sellers and installers of distributed generation resources (like rooftop solar systems) to provide a standard written disclosure form to customers before sale or installation. The form must include seller contact details, billing information, and key consumer rights in 14-point type, making misrepresentations about utility affiliations or government ties an unfair trade practice under Maine law. It directly affects residential and small commercial customers purchasing these energy products, as well as competitive electricity providers and installers. The bill amends existing disclosure rules for electricity sales and net energy billing arrangements to standardize information and enhance consumer transparency.
