On September 17, 2025, the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) held a regular meeting via teleconference, led by Chairman Marissa Gillette. The meeting was brief, focusing solely on the consent calendar, which included six items that were unanimously approved by the panel.
The consent calendar is a standard procedure in which multiple items are grouped together for a single vote, streamlining the decision-making process. During the meeting, Vice Chairman David Arconti and Commissioner Michael Caron joined Chairman Gillette in voting affirmatively on all items presented.
The swift approval of the consent calendar indicates a consensus among the commissioners on the matters discussed, although specific details of the items were not elaborated upon during the meeting. This efficiency suggests that the items likely pertained to routine regulatory matters, which are essential for the ongoing oversight of public utilities in Connecticut.
The meeting concluded with an announcement that the next session would take place on September 24, 2025, at 9 AM, continuing the authority's commitment to regular oversight and engagement with utility matters. As PURA prepares for its upcoming meeting, stakeholders will be keen to see how the authority addresses ongoing challenges in the utility sector, particularly in light of evolving energy demands and regulatory frameworks.
