Ask your lawmakers to take action!

Summary: Ask your MA lawmakers to support protections from predatory energy suppliers!

Description

We’re calling on our state leaders to pass bold, comprehensive legislation this session to protect Massachusetts consumers and Stop Predatory Electric Suppliers.

In 1997, Massachusetts deregulated its electricity market. Today, consumers can elect to purchase their electric supply from their utility, their local municipal aggregation program (for the towns and cities that have them), or third-party electric suppliers.

While deregulation benefited many commercial customers and municipal aggregation programs, third-party electric suppliers have been harming Massachusetts residents for decades, using unethical, predatory practices to entice consumers before suddenly raising their electricity costs. We believe that the industry is beyond repair, and needs to be stopped now.

We’re not alone. A bipartisan effort to ban third-party suppliers has been underway for years, with former Governor Charlie Baker’s administration and now Governor Maura Healey supporting a ban. Attorney General Andrea Campbell and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have also been vocal supporters.

The 2025-2026 legislative session presents a critical opportunity for House and Senate lawmakers to take action on this pressing issue and it is essential that they hear from advocates, impacted community members, and local leaders from throughout the Commonwealth that third-party suppliers are harming residents and threatening their financial well-being. At a time when affordability remains a pressing issue for Massachusetts residents, passing legislation to ban these suppliers and protect consumers must be an urgent priority.
