 4 "ESCO", as defined in paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section three
 5 hundred forty-nine-d of the general business law, shall only enroll new
 6 or renew existing residential or small non-residential customers in gas
 7 or electric service if at least one of the following conditions is met:
 8 (a) the enrollment contract guarantees savings over the utility price;
 9 (b) enrollment is for a fixed-rate commodity product, priced at no
 10 more than five percent greater than the trailing twelve-month average
 11 utility supply rate; or
 12 (c) enrollment is for a renewably sourced electric commodity product
 13 that:
 14 (i) has a renewable mix that is at least fifty percent greater than
 15 the ESCO's current renewable energy standard obligation; and
 16 (ii) the ESCO complies with the renewable energy standard locational
 17 and delivery requirements when procuring renewable energy credits or
 18 entering into bilateral contracts for renewable commodity supply.
 19 2. An ESCO shall be required to guarantee savings to all low-income
 20 customers. In order to provide service to a low-income customer, prior
 21 to enrollment in a contract, an ESCO shall submit to the department a
 22 description which includes, at minimum:
 23 (a) a calculation of what the customer would have paid to the default
 24 utility;

 5 process for the department or customer to verify compliance with the
 6 provisions of this section.
 7 3. An ESCO shall receive affirmative consent from residential or small
 8 non-residential customers prior to enrolling the customer into a
 9 contract that provides renewable energy but does not guarantee savings.
 10 4. An ESCO shall provide to customers a transparency of information
 11 and disclosure statement with respect to pricing and commodity sourcing.

 14 applicable default utility service price, the type of renewable energy
 15 content in each product the ESCO offers and the percentage of renewable
 16 electricity that will be advertised for that product. Such disclosure
