REPORT: Massachusetts residents who switched to so-called “competitive” electric suppliers continue to lose millions of dollars each year.

We must put an end to these deceptive sales practices in our neighborhoods. mass.gov/files/document…
Our concern remains that too many customers are being falsely promised big savings on their electricity bills and then overcharged month after month.

This report highlights the need for legislation to stop these predatory companies from scamming residents.
Here’s what we know:

✅ 500,000 MA residents receive electricity directly from a competitive supplier.

✅ More than 1,000 complaints have been filed about aggressive door-to-door sales tactics.

✅ Low-income residents and communities of color are disproportionately impacted.
There are many cities and towns that provide electricity to residents through municipal aggregation programs. Our legislation would not change that or markets for commercial/industrial supply.

We want to stop companies from soliciting individual customers starting in January.
As your ratepayer advocate, I will continue to fight unfair and deceptive practices in the individual residential electric supply market, and take action against companies who violate our laws. commonwealthmagazine.org/opinion/time-t…
