Show Notes
Connecticut lawmakers debate House Bill fifty-four seventy-one, aiming to expand community solar program. The bill proposes setting up shared clean energy projects by December 2026, allowing private firms, towns, and cooperatives to build solar arrays or battery storage and offer bill credits to all electric customers. However, utilities and state energy officials express concerns over potential net costs of three hundred million dollars annually, projecting a total of six billion dollars over twenty years. Environmental advocates support the bill, arguing it expands clean energy access to renters, condo dwellers, and others unable to install rooftop solar. The Energy and Technology Committee is taking public testimony on the debate.
