Show Notes
Eversource Energy opposes Connecticuts new community solar bill, HB 5471, citing potential costs of over $6 billion to customers over 20 years. The bill aims to establish shared solar and battery projects, allowing private companies, towns, and co-ops to build and sell subscriptions. Eversource warns of legal, financial, and technical flaws, predicting an additional $300 million in annual net costs and a potential death spiral for remaining customers. Supporters argue the bill benefits renters and low-income households, as Connecticut currently lacks community solar programs.
