Requires BPU, electric power suppliers, and gas suppliers to publish certain information related to filing of customer complaints.
This bill requires electric power suppliers and gas suppliers to include specific complaint information in customer contracts and on bills, including the phone number and website for filing complaints with the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and an explanation of "slamming" (unauthorized changes to a customer's energy supplier). It also mandates the BPU to publish quarterly reports on customer complaints that list the energy companies against which complaints were filed, without revealing personal customer information. The bill directly affects energy suppliers, utilities, and the BPU by increasing transparency and making complaint processes more accessible to consumers. This policy change aims to improve consumer awareness and accountability in the energy market.
