Flip CT Red

Here’s what he’s not telling you:

It expires in September. PURA’s own order says the rate adjustment lasts “until at least September.” After that, it’s gone — unless the state borrows more money.

And that’s the second thing he’s not telling you: Connecticut is borrowing $155 million to fund part of this relief. That’s not savings. That’s debt — shifted from your electric bill to your tax bill.

Connecticut still ranks among the top three most expensive states for electricity in the nation.

The rest of the credit comes from nuclear supply contracts and regulatory rate adjustments that PURA controls — not the Governor’s office. Republicans on the Bond Commission voted for it too, while pushing for deeper permanent cuts that Lamont blocked.

So enjoy the chump change while it lasts. Just remember who’s going to hand you the bill when September comes.
