Overview
This bill prevents electric and gas public utilities from increasing residential rates during the summer (June 1 – August 31) and winter (January 1 – March 31) months. It aims to protect consumers from potentially high utility bills that often coincide with peak energy usage. The legislation clarifies that these rate increases should be prohibited regardless of existing regulations. The bill was introduced in response to concerns about rate increases occurring just before peak demand periods.
