DEEP Metrics for Transparency, Predictability & Efficiency

DEEP is committed to transparency, efficiency, and predictability, both as a matter of good government and to improve our regulatory processes and environmental outcomes. Increasing public access to information, and proactively communicating about our work, helps us to better serve Connecticut residents and businesses and protect Connecticut's environment.

Reliable data is key to building a cleaner, healthier, and more affordable Connecticut. The DEEP Metrics Hub provides transparent, easy-to-access insights into how the state is advancing its environmental and energy goals. By tracking key indicators across energy, waste management, and climate resilience, this platform helps residents, businesses, and policymakers make informed decisions that support Connecticut’s long-term sustainability, affordability, and health.

Growing out of our 20BY20 Initiative and 20BY26 Initiative for process improvement, DEEP has created these dashboards to provide metrics on how DEEP is doing in key areas:
