Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Public Utilities Regulatory Authority

Electric and gas utilities have begun notifying residential customers with unpaid and/or past-due balances that if they do not take action and contact their utility to enroll in a payment plan, they are at risk of having their gas services terminated on Thursday, May 2, 2024. If your household has received a notification from your utility company, please contact them directly to set up a payment plan to keep your services on. These plans charge no interest, and all customers qualify at least once for one or more of these plans. After engaging with utility providers, customers may also contact PURA’s customer affairs unit for specific questions regarding payment arrangements. View eligibility, utility contact information

PURA 101 Workshops

  

 

The Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA or the Authority) has made education about the quasi-judicial agency and the regulatory process a high priority. That’s why PURA 101 Workshops, presented by Chairman Marissa Gillett and key senior staff, are being offered to any local or statewide groups interested in learning more about the Authority.

To request a PURA 101 presentation on site or via Zoom, compose an email to Taren.Oconnor@ct.gov. In the request, please include a preferred time, date range, location, target audience, and topics you would like the Authority to highlight. Please note that prospective organizers are responsible for securing in-person locations for workshops.
