Summary
This Act provides that an individual electric supplier agent cannot be fined or imprisoned for violations under Section 218 of Chapter I of Title 26. This Act provides that the Commission must develop a training and educational program for any entity or individual that is certified by the Commission as an electric supplier that demonstrates a thorough understanding of the Commission’s regulations regarding (1) sales; (2) consumer protection; and (3) any other matter the Commission deems appropriate. This Act requires that third-party electric supplier report data concerning customer choices in its service territory and third-party electric supplier rates. They must submit a monthly report to the Commission on customer choice in their service territories for the preceding month, including all of the following: (1) the total kilowatt hours distributed to customers purchasing electricity from a third-party electric supplier; (2) the total supply cost charged to customers purchasing electric from a third–party electric supplier; (3) the total cost that customers who chose third-party suppliers would have paid under standard offer service; (4) the net third–party total cost compared to the standard offer service; (5) the total third–party average rate; (6) the standard offer service average rate; (7) the difference between the total third–party average rate and the standard offer service average rate; (8) the third–party average residential rates broken out by supplier and the variance between each of these rates and the standard offer service average rate; (9) the third–party average general service nondemand rates broken out by supplier and the variance between each of these third–party rates and the standard offer service average rate; (10) the third–party average general service demand rates broken out by supplier and the variance between each of these third–party rates and the standard offer service average rate; (11) the third–party average large power demand rates broken out by supplier and the variance between each of these third–party rates and the standard offer service average rate; and (12) other pertinent information the Commission considers appropriate. This Act requires a third-party electric supplier to provide residential customers or small commercial customers with written notice of the pending renewal of a contract 90 and 30 days before the end of the contract term is scheduled to occur and provides regulations regarding electric supplier rates. It requires a third-party electric supplier to provide written confirmation within 15 business days of enrollment and written notification at least 15 days in advance of any changes to the customer’s rate. This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 28 of Article IV of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to give jurisdiction to inferior courts or justices of the peace of “such … misdemeanors as the General Assembly may from time to time … prescribe.”
