Here is Renee's interview with Marissa Gillett, Chairman, The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA).
She chats about how PURA serves the people of Connecticut and the latest updates regarding utilities rate adjustments.
Listen here:
The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) is statutorily charged with regulating the rates and services of Connecticut's investor owned electricity, natural gas, water and telecommunication companies and is the franchising authority for the state’s cable television companies.
In the industries that are still wholly regulated, PURA balances the public’s right to safe, adequate and reliable utility service at reasonable rates with the provider’s right to a reasonable return on its investment. PURA also keeps watch over competitive utility services to promote equity among the competitors while customers reap the price and quality benefits of competition and are protected from unfair business practices.
