Massachusetts AG Issued Market Study Report Finding that Competitive Electricity Suppliers Charging More Than Utilities

MAY 2, 2023

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell issued a market study report finding that customers of competitive electricity suppliers paid $525 million more in electricity rates than what utilities would have charged. This report followed three earlier reports with similar findings. According to the study, “the continuation of consumer losses is disproportionately borne by residents in zip codes with a higher concentration of low-income and residents of color.” AG Campbell urged state legislators to pass regulations to ban these companies from operating in the state.
