Bill > SB00093

This bill addresses three key areas related to public utilities and municipal services. First, it requires the Connecticut Siting Council to adopt rules for notifying property owners adjacent to development sites that are consistent with the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority's (PURA) existing notification rules, ensuring a standardized approach to informing landowners about nearby developments. Second, the bill mandates that any entity involved in a PURA rate case must disclose the profit and loss statements of its subsidiaries operating within the state, increasing financial transparency for utility companies. Lastly, the bill establishes a task force to investigate the potential for municipalities to create their own electric companies, which could provide electricity directly to local residents. This task force study aims to explore alternative approaches to electricity provision that might offer more local control or potentially more competitive pricing for municipal residents. The bill seeks to improve communication with landowners, enhance financial disclosure in utility rate cases, and explore innovative municipal energy solutions.
