As you may have heard, CL&P is planning to increase its service fee dramatically for customers in Connecticut. This is a move that will put a huge additional burden on homeowners in Connecticut, but it will also likely deter clean energy usage. When electrical rates rise, that can be an incentive to invest in energy-saving home upgrades and explore alternative energy options. But when you increase a flat fee like this, consumers have little recourse and are largely unable to escape the impact of the increase. Im calling on CL&P to not increase its service fee and come up with a new proposal that wont force customers to shoulder this burden and minimizes impacts on consumer incentives to invest in energy efficiency. CL&P should work with the Connecticut Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority to find a better path forward.
