Attorney General Tong Submits Testimony Supporting "An Act Concerning Electric Suppliers"

(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong submitted written testimony in support of H.B. 6526, An Act Concerning Electric Suppliers, to provide critical consumer protections in the retail electric supply market.

“This bill provides critical consumer protections in the retail electric supply market, the necessity of which is readily apparent in numerous Public Utilities Regulatory Authority ("PURA") dockets. These dockets include enforcement proceedings in which PURA has fined third-party electric suppliers up to $1.5 million each for flouting existing consumer protection laws,” Attorney General Tong wrote. “While there have been important consumer protection laws passed since electric deregulation in 1998, our direct experience indicates that illegal and deceptive sales practices persist. This bill includes necessary and appropriate improvements in the regulation and oversight of third-party retail electric suppliers.”
