⚡📢Connecticut residents, this is your chance to speak out against a proposed major electric rate increase!
Eversource is asking state regulators to raise electric rates AGAIN. Families are already stretching their budgets to pay for groceries, housing and utilities. Small businesses are working to keep their doors open. How much more are Connecticut ratepayers expected to pay?
Before the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) makes its decision, tell regulators directly: Reject Eversource’s proposed rate increases and lower electric rates now!
Sign up to speak at an upcoming public hearing or submit written comments. Tell PURA what you’re paying now and what another increase would mean for your family or business.
🗣️Attend an upcoming hearing:
📧Send a written comment: Email PURA.ExecutiveSecretary@ct.gov or submit a comment on PURA’s website portal.ct.gov/PURA/Consumer-Services/File-a-Public-Comment/File-a-Public-Comment PURA asks for comments by January 27, 2027.
Include Docket No. 26-05-10, your name and your home address. Written comments become public record, so leave out your utility account number, phone number and other personal details.
Speak up now, while the decision is still on the table. Share this with your neighbors so they can speak out, too.
