Coalition Letter to CT’s Public Utilities Reglatory Authority on Residential Fixed Charges

In the current United Illuminating (UI) rate case, sixteen national and regional organizations urge Connecticut's Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) to reduce the fixed charge, or monthly basic service charge, currently paid by residential customers of UI. The supporting organizations represent a diverse coalition, including consumer groups protecting low income and vulnerable ratepayers, solar, storage, and energy efficiency businesses, and public interest organizations fighting for cleaner air and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
