Connecticut Retail Market Bills Advance
Connecticut's joint committee on Energy & Technology reported with a favorable recommendation a substitute version of SB1, with no major changes related to the retail marketing provisions (see 3/14). Also advancing is a substitute version of HB 6592 which includes a supplier code of conduct that largely tracks the voluntary code recently issued by the DPUC. Notably, HB 6592 would amend the current statute regarding the rescission period such that it would only apply to residential customers (it currently applies to commercial customers 500 kW or smaller as well). However, the three business day rescission period would not start until the later of 1) the date the customer enters into the agreement, or 2) the date the customer receives written notice of their right to rescind the contract. Also notable is that, unlike the DPUC rules, HB 6592 includes a limit on termination fees of $100 or twice the estimated monthly bill (similar to SB1).
DPUC Dismisses AG Motion to Rescind Positive Energy Consent Order
In a one sentence order, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control denied the motion of the Attorney General's Office requesting reconsideration and rescission of the consent order between the DPUC and Positive Energy Electricity Supply, LLC, which requires Positive Energy to reimburse certain customers for delayed switches (3/11). The AG had sought to re-open the case to address the calculation methodology for the reimbursements, but Positive Energy said that the AG's motion was unjustified as well as procedurally deficient (4/1).
