Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin praised the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) today for their unanimous decision for the immediate elimination of the billing adjustment for ratepayers when switching electric service providers:
"I applaud the PUC for recognizing the burden the billing adjustment placed on ratepayers who sought a better rate for electricity. Today's decision is a significant victory for those ratepayers, bolsters the competitive electric marketplace, and makes the process of switching providers more transparent. With the cost of energy being a significant expense for consumers, it is imperative that we continue to advocate for the lowest possible rates and accessible information for consumers to make an educated decision on their supplier."
Attorney General Kilmartin intervened in this matter on behalf of the ratepayers.
