Title 46, Chapter 3, Section 11
( 46-3-11)
(a) Every electric supplier is prohibited from having or applying
any rate, charge, or service rule or regulation which unreasonably
discriminates against or in favor of (1) any member of a class of
consumers as opposed to any other consumer who is or should be in
the same class of consumers for such purposes, or (2) any class of
its consumers as opposed to another class of consumers for such
purposes, provided that this prohibition shall not apply to any
rate, charge, or service rule or regulation relating solely to
service rendered by a municipality to consumers whose premises are
located within its limits as they existed on March 29, 1973. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, every electric
supplier is prohibited from, directly or indirectly, by ordinance,
law, policy, contract, rate, regulation, or otherwise: (1) Requiring that a consumer receive retail electric service from
such electric supplier as a condition for such consumer to receive
from such electric supplier or any other person any goods or other
services that are not reasonably related to the furnishing of
retail electric service to such consumer's premises; (2) Offering a consumer lesser charges or more favorable terms or
conditions for retail electric service because of such consumer's
receiving or agreeing to receive from such electric supplier any
goods or other services that are not reasonably related to the
furnishing of retail electric service to such consumer's premises; (3) Imposing higher charges for any goods or other services that
are not reasonably related to the furnishing of retail electric
service to a consumer's premises because of such consumer's
failure or refusal to receive retail electric service from that
supplier; or (4) Furnishing retail electric service to any premises which such
electric supplier is not entitled to serve under this part. |
