SB 2641 Rhode Island Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC UTILITIES AND CARRIERS -- DUTIES OF UTILITIES AND CARRIERS

SB 2641 establishes uniform statewide standards for how electric companies read meters and generate bills for customers. It directly affects electric utilities (like power companies) and their residential and commercial customers. The bill requires all electric providers to follow specific, consistent practices for meter reading accuracy and billing transparency. This creates a clear framework for billing processes across the state, ensuring standardized procedures rather than varying local rules. The legislation aims to improve clarity and fairness in utility billing for all affected customers.
