The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) is statutorily charged for regulating the rates and services of Connecticut’s two investor-owned electric and the 10 investor-owned water companies. In fact, all utilities in CT are investor-owned. Common denominators are PURA, Eversource and Investors. PURA seems biased to Eversource and United illuminating as their prices of electricity are nearly double compared to other suppliers. That’s simply just not fair. Afterall, their purpose is ensuring just and reasonable rates for all public utility customers in Connecticut. Obviously, they have investors' best interests at heart and not taxpayers.
PURA.gov website information should be updated to read: The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) is statutorily-charged with ensuring that Connecticut's investor-owned utilities, including the state’s electric, natural gas, water, and telecommunications companies, provide safe, clean, reliable, and unaffordable utility service and infrastructure.
