(a) In addition to the conditions described in subsection (g) of section 16-245 of the Connecticut General Statutes, it shall be a condition of continuing licensure for an electric supplier to provide: (1) Any and all information requested by the department for the purpose of compiling quarterly disclosure reports required pursuant to section 16-245p of the Connecticut General Statutes; (2) Any and all information requested by the department in its implementation of section 16-245x of the Connecticut General Statutes; and (3) Any and all information that the electric supplier is required to provide pursuant to section 16-245y(b) of the Connecticut General Statutes. (b) Not less than twenty (20) days before an electric supplier executes its first contract for the sale of electric generation services to an end user, the electric supplier shall file with the department an affidavit attesting to the electric supplier's capability to exchange data necessary for the establishment and maintenance of a customer's account with the electric distribution company or companies serving the area or areas the electric supplier intends to serve. The affidavit shall attest to the successful completion of a "test run" between the electric supplier's computer systems and the electric distribution company's or companies' computer systems. The electric supplier shall serve such affidavit on the electric distribution company or companies serving the area or areas the electric supplier intends to serve. For purposes of this subdivision, "test run" shall mean an exchange of data necessary to establish and maintain a customer's account, including, but not limited to, account administration, usage and billing, and payments and adjustments. The affidavit shall create a rebuttable presumption that the electric supplier is capable of electronically exchanging data necessary for the establishment and maintenance of a customer's account with the electric distribution company or companies serving the area or areas the electric supplier intends to serve. (c) Not later than October 15 of each year, an electric supplier shall submit to the department the following information: (1) If the supplier has elected to maintain security based on a percentage of its gross receipts, the amount of the electric supplier's gross receipts from the sale of electric generation services in the previous twelve months; (2) An estimate of the expected electric generation load to be served by the electric supplier in the next twelve months; and (3) an affidavit attesting that the electric supplier is subject to chapters 208, 212, 212a and 219 of the Connecticut General Statutes, as applicable, and shall pay all taxes that it is subject to in this state. (d) For purposes of this subsection, "aggregated customer" shall mean a customer who is gathered by an electric aggregator, as defined in section 16-1 of the Connecticut General Statutes, for the purchase of electric generation services from an electric supplier. Not more than sixty days (60) after an aggregated customer contracts with an electric supplier, and not more than sixty days after any renewal, extension or modification of such contract, the electric aggregator shall issue to the aggregated customer a notice containing the following information: (1) The name, address and toll-free customer service telephone number of the electric supplier that provides electric generation services under its aggregation offer; and (2) The rate for electric generation services stated in its aggregation offer, or a description of how electric generation services are charged to customers under its aggregation offer.
