Bill Summary

To establish a task force to (1) study electric distribution companies and such companies' accountability and responsiveness to ratepayers, (2) study the introduction of competition in the electric transmission or distribution services industry in Connecticut, and (3) provide an evaluation concerning the costs of acquiring electric transmission or distribution services infrastructure from each electric distribution company and recommendations regarding whether acquisitions are necessary to maintain electric grid reliability in the state.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a task force with three primary objectives: First, the task force will study how the electric distribution market can be restructured to improve accountability and responsiveness to ratepayers, focusing on companies currently defined under Connecticut General Statutes section 16-1. Second, the task force will explore the potential introduction of competition within the electric transmission and distribution services industry in the state. Third, the task force will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the costs associated with acquiring electric transmission or distribution infrastructure from existing electric distribution companies, and provide recommendations about whether such infrastructure acquisitions are essential for maintaining the state's electric grid reliability. By creating this task force, the bill aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the current electric distribution system, with a focus on improving service quality, exploring market competitiveness, and ensuring reliable infrastructure for Connecticut's electric grid.
