Connecticut Green-Lights Statewide EV Charging Initiative
PURA s chairman, Marissa P. Gillett
Connecticut’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) recently issued a final decision, as part of its Equitable Modern Grid initiative, to establish a nine-year program to support the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the state, focusing on equity and inclusion.
The decision outlines a statewide EV charging program that provides a combination of incentives for infrastructure – including electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and fast-charging stations – and accompanying rate design offerings in an effort to develop a self-sustaining EV market, says PURA.
The Connecticut Light and Power Co. (d/b/a Eversource Energy)and The United Illuminating Co. (UI) will administer the program beginning Jan. 1, 2022. In the coming months, PURA will work with Eversource, UI and other stakeholders to ensure the successful launch of the program.
