12   understandable language as the commission shall prescribe, that
13   the fixed-rate period is ending as prescribed under subsection
14   (b). If the customer continues service, the public utility,
15   electric generation supplier or natural gas supplier shall
16   notify the customer that the fixed-rate period has ended. If the
17   customer receives a monthly bill or interim statement or bill
 1   under section 1509 (relating to billing procedures), the notice

 5   method the public utility, electric generation supplier or
 6   natural gas supplier renders bills to the customer at least 60
 7   days prior to the end date of the fixed-rate period. A second
 8   notice shall be provided at least 30 days prior to the end date
 9   of the fixed-rate period. If a customer continues service with
10   the public utility, electric generation supplier or natural gas
11   supplier after the fixed-rate period has ended, notice shall be
12   provided to the customer that the fixed-rate period has ended at
13   least once every 30 days for the first three months after the
14   end date of the fixed-rate period.
15      (c)   Definitions.--As used in this section, the following
