LD186

An Act to Clarify the Public Utilities Commission's Authority to Establish Time-of-use Pricing for Standard-offer Service

Complete·6/2/25

The bill clarifies the Public Utilities Commission's authority to establish time-of-use pricing for standard-offer service.

The bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to clarify that the Public Utilities Commission may incorporate cost-effective demand response, including time-of-use pricing, and energy efficiency into the supply of standard-offer service. It also allows the commission to establish various standard-offer service contract lengths and terms. This aims to provide the lowest price for standard-offer service to residential and small commercial customers over a reasonable time period.
