Requires the public service commission to post a summary of actions taken to promote ratepayer affordability and minimize residential energy burden.

The bill amends the public service law to require the public service commission to consider ratepayer affordability when examining any filing by a utility that would result in a major change in rates. The commission must include a written summary of actions taken to promote affordability and minimize residential energy burden in any approving order and make it public on its website. The summary must detail the specific actions and strategies taken during the rate case or hearing, evaluate their effectiveness, and address the interests of low- and middle-income utility customers.
