Prohibits the collection of competitive supply cost true-ups as non-bypassable charges, requiring them to be recovered through default service rates.
The House amended the bill to instead requires the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to use fixed-price contracts for default services and limits reliance on real-time or day-ahead market purchases.
The Senate rewrote the bill to prohibit utilities from collecting default electric service cost reconciliations through non-bypassable charges except when the commission, through an adjudicative proceeding, finds extraordinary circumstances.
