(a) The commission shall compile and regularly update the names and contact numbers of registered providers.
(b) (1) The commission shall also compile and regularly update information to assist consumers in making service choices and the number of customer complaints against specific providers in relation to the number of customers served by those providers and the disposition of those complaints. To facilitate this function, registered entities shall file with the commission information describing the terms and conditions of any standard service plan made available to residential and small commercial customers. The commission shall adopt a standard format for this filing. The commission shall maintain and make generally available a list of entities offering electrical services operating in California. This list shall include all registered providers and those providers not required to be registered who request the commission to be included in the list. The commission shall, upon request, make this information available at no charge. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, public agencies that are registered entities shall be required to disclose their terms and conditions of service contracts only to the same extent that other registered entities would be required to disclose the same or similar service contracts.
(2) The commission shall issue public alerts about companies attempting to provide electric service in the state in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 394.25.
(3) (A) This subdivision is inoperative except for time periods in which providers are authorized to offer service to residential customers and the combined enrollments in competitive retail electric service in the service territories of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, and San Diego Gas and Electric Company increase at a rate of more than 5 percent per month.
(B) The commission shall notify, in writing, the Secretary of State at the beginning and end of any time period described in subparagraph (A).
