We are writing from the Community Engagement Division at the Office of Attorney General Maura Healey to inform that our office is starting a new community engagement initiative, community presentations on Competitive Electric Supply. At these presentations we provide: Tips for consumers to make sure that they are getting a fair deal on their electricity bills and how to spot misleading prices and deceptive sales tactics from competitive electric suppliers.
Last year, the Attorney General’s Office released a report that found that Massachusetts residential consumers paid competitive electric suppliers $176.8 million more than they would have paid for electricity from their utility between July, 2015 – June, 2017. The report also found that low-income consumers are disproportionately affected. Low-income consumers are more likely to sign-up for competitive supply and are more likely to be charged higher rates.
In order to prevent further harm, the Attorney General has called for an end to the individual residential electric supply market.
If you would like our office to present to a group of individuals or at larger community engagement event at your organization on Tips for Consumers on Competitive Electric Supply, just let us know by replying to this message. We are available to do the presentation in Spanish and Portuguese, as well.
Yours in service,
Community Engagement Division
