AARP Connecticut issued the following statement regarding the final decision by the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) to United Illuminating Company’s (UI) application to amend its rate schedule (Docket 24-10-04).
Every time we are behind the wheel, on two wheels or on our feet is a perfect time to remember the importance of safety and looking out for one another. October’s Pedestrian Safety Month is a good reminder that we all play a role in making sure people arrive at their destinations safely.
AARP Connecticut applauds the final decision by the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) to reject United Illuminating Company’s supplemental rate increase request. An approved increase would have significantly raised the cost of electricity for Connecticut ratepayers, who already pay the highest retail electricity price in the continental United States.
