N.H. Pols Introduce Legislation to Address "Wild West" Retail Electric Market
February 10,2015
Three New Hampshire State Reps. are introducing a bill providing for electric market customer protections (HB 345).
As detailed in an op-ed in the Concord Monitor, the bill is to notably address the following:
• "Competitive suppliers should be subject to the prohibition on 'unfair and deceptive acts' in existing state law. Just because this is a deregulated market should not mean New Hampshire treats this market like the Wild Wild West.
• "Electric customers deserve to know the financial integrity and stability of a competitive supplier. There cannot be any question about the capabilities of a company offering services in this market. We have no room for carnival games."
