An Act modernizing competitive energy supply

SD 1519 modernizes Massachusetts' competitive electricity market by requiring energy marketers (companies selling electricity to customers) to follow new rules. It mandates that customers can switch suppliers within 3 business days, eliminates interim rates for moves within a utility's area, and requires a single bill format showing both energy and distribution charges by 2025. The bill also introduces licensing requirements, including a $10,000 fee and a $5 million bond per license for energy marketers, plus mandatory training for their representatives. Additionally, it sets rules for in-person door-to-door sales, requiring language verification and third-party phone number tracking. These changes directly affect energy suppliers, distributors, and residential and small commercial electricity customers in Massachusetts.
