The Public Utilities Commission and the Consumer s Counsel will issue to the legislature biennial reports on the effectiveness of competition. During the market development period, rates are capped at their level as of the effective date of this act. The cap includes all unbundled components and the transition charge, but is adjusted for taxation changes, the universal service rider and the temporary rider. A distribution utility shall provide a standard service offer to consumers, and after the market development period, the standard service offer will be market-based. If a supplier defaults on its service, its customers will receive power under the standard service offer until they choose a new supplier.
