Connecticut's Plan for Energy Efficiency; Roundtable Looks at CL&P Rates

According to a new scorecard from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, Connecticut has dropped to sixth place in the national ranking of state energy efficiency. 

No, sixth is definitely not a bad place to be in. But it’s still got us thinking about the ways we invest in energy efficiency as a state.

This hour, we sit down with some local experts to learn more about Connecticut’s energy plans. What does our energy infrastructure look like? And how are we planning to increase the number of green jobs across the state?

A little later, we also preview an upcoming roundtable conversation, which will take a look at CL&P’s proposed rate increases and how they could impact workers and consumers throughout Connecticut.

GUESTS:

  • Katie Scharf Dykes - Deputy Commissioner for Energy at the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP)
  • Luther Turmelle - Reporter for New Haven Register
  • John Humphries - Organizer for the CT Roundtable on Climate & Jobs
  • John Harrity - President of the Connecticut State Council of Machinists
