Connecticut Siting Council Report - 2024
Pursuant to section 12 of Public Act 24-144, DEEP is required to conduct a study, in consultation with a range of state agency partners, and publish a report on the Connecticut Siting Council (hereafter CSC or Siting Council) by the end of 2024.
DEEP is holding a Hybrid Public Meeting on December 5th to provide an overview of the DRAFT CSC Report and receive oral comments from the public.
The study process has already benefitted from input from external stakeholders, and we are looking for comments now on the draft report itself. Written comments on the DRAFT CSC Report (linked below) can be submitted to DEEP by December 13th through an Online Survey or via email at DEEP.ERSI@ct.gov.
DRAFT REPORT RELEASED!
As part of the process, DEEP was required to share a draft report online. The draft is available here, and the many appendices are linked below as well. We look forward to public feedback on the draft in preparation for the final report, which will be shared by the end of the year (December 31, 2024). And we hope to see you at the 12/5 public session on the draft!
