The Energy Provider Bill
Letting you cancel your energy provider at any time
Retail Energy Market Consumer Protection Amendment Act of 2026
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would let you cancel your third-party electricity provider at any time without a penalty.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Third-party energy companies sometimes trap people in tricky contracts. This bill would change the rules so you hold the power. If your electricity supplier raises prices or treats you badly, you could just walk away. It is a simple fix that would protect your wallet. Since it is just starting to move through the city council, now is the time to speak up.
