An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for consumer choice billing; imposing penalties; and making repeals.
This bill authorizes electric and natural gas suppliers in Pennsylvania to issue consolidated bills that combine charges for both retail energy services and the underlying distribution and transmission fees. By enabling suppliers to directly bill customers for all energy-related costs, the legislation aims to allow providers to create customized pricing plans, such as time-of-use rates or renewable energy options, based on data from smart meters. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission would be responsible for overseeing the implementation of these new billing practices and enforcing penalties for non-compliance. While the bill outlines a policy to enhance competition and consumer choice, it does not mandate that all customers switch to these new billing methods.
