An Act to set equal contracting conditions for electricity customers on basic service
This bill amends Massachusetts law to change how electricity suppliers can contract with customers on basic service. Currently, suppliers are limited to offering contracts for up to six months, but the bill removes this time restriction to allow for longer-term agreements. The change applies specifically to electricity providers serving customers who do not choose a competitive supplier. By eliminating the six-month cap, the legislation aims to give customers more flexibility in selecting their energy supply terms.
