A new statewide Universal Service Fund for low-income assistance for customers at or below 50 percent of the federal poverty level. Collections from all state utilities will be under the rate cap, so this charge cannot be passed on to the customer. Customers who do not want to switch electric suppliers will receive Standard Offer Service. Co-ops and municipal utilities may remain Standard Offer Suppliers until they decide otherwise. Consumers will be educated about customer choice with statewide programs.
Reliability is guaranteed by continuing the regulation of the transmission and delivery systems.
Your current company will continue to deliver electricity over its power lines, maintain the delivery system and answer customer inquiries.
