STATE SENATOR NORM NEEDLEMAN ISSUES STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF CT SUPREME COURT RULING IN FAVOR OF PUBLIC UTILITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY
Today, State Senator Norm Needleman (D-Essex), Senate Chair of the Energy and Technology Committee, issued the following statement after the Connecticut Supreme Court issued a decision in Genconn Energy, LLC v. Public Utilities Regulatory Authority:
“I’m pleased by this decision that supports PURA and the ratepayers of Connecticut. It reaffirms our state’s need for transparency and thoroughness in the state’s utility regulation environment. This action would not be taken without direct regard for Connecticut electricity consumers; when there are principles in place that are ignored, ratepayers suffer. In this case, they’d have suffered millions in lost pass-through savings. I’m grateful to PURA and the Office of Consumer Counsel for their diligent work in protecting ratepayers; our committee has worked tirelessly with them to protect ratepayers in recent years and this judgment further supports our work.” |
