An Act relative to electric ratepayer protections

This bill (SD 1545) prohibits energy suppliers, marketers, or brokers from creating new or renewing existing electricity generation contracts with individual residential customers starting January 1, 2026. It directly affects residential electricity providers and consumers by restricting how residential electricity service can be contracted. Exceptions apply to municipal aggregation programs under Section 134 and specific programs under Section 137. Violations are treated as unfair acts under Chapter 93A, allowing the Attorney General to seek penalties, restitution, or court orders for enforcement.
