Summary

Prohibits any electric or gas utility from imposing any rate (including any charge or surcharge) on any residential consumer which is higher than the rate imposed on any other residential consumer because of the use of energy conservation or alternative energy sources. Exempts from such prohibition differences in rates charged based upon differences in the cost of service between residences which use electric energy and residences which use natural gas.
