Eversource

Energy experts from the state’s two major power companies, Eversource and United Illuminating, say caulking, weather stripping and frequent equipment cleaning can keep your house warm and the electricity bill down this winter.

Orsted and Eversource received final federal approval from the Department of the Interior this week. Construction for Revolution Wind, the first utility-scale offshore wind farm in Connecticut and Rhode Island, will begin in 2024.

North America's second largest fuel cell park is now open in Derby, Connecticut. The facility will supply power to Eversource and United Illuminating, reaching more than 10,000 homes.

Energy companies Ørsted and Eversource, developers of Connecticut's first offshore wind farm, will spend $1.25 million on the project with UConn, which will be based at their Avery Point campus.

The event was attended by government and local leaders as well as UConn students to hear about Connecticut's strengths in green energy and the challenges of climate change.

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and state lawmakers vow to hold Eversource more accountable to ratepayers after the state’s largest utility announced a $1.4 billion profit for 2022 and the doubling of its CEO’s pay.

Connecticut's expensive electric rates are fueling an effort to revise regulations governing Eversource and other utilities.

This is the first time the water utility has asked the state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority for a rate increase since it was acquired by the region’s largest power company, Eversource, in 2017. But the company did raise its standard service rates for customers twice last year.

Spiking winter energy prices are the result of a crisis that has been a decade in the making, after New England opted to bet on natural gas.

Connecticut and Massachusetts regulators have been told that an increased supply of natural gas is needed to bring down the cost of electricity.
