Summary
The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority unanimously adopted a final decision creating a centralized annual report of 2025 deployment and performance metrics for Connecticut—s ratepayer-funded clean energy programs, directing annual data filings to improve transparency for policymakers and the public.
The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority on April 22 unanimously adopted a final decision creating a centralized annual report covering calendar-year 2025 deployment and performance metrics for the state—s ratepayer-funded clean and renewable energy programs.
Attorney Lefebvre, presenting the decision, said the report "provides centralized reporting on calendar year 2025 deployment and performance metrics for the state's clean and renewable energy programs and procurements." The document, attached to the decision, compiles data on electricity generation and emissions, residential and nonresidential solar PV systems, shared clean energy facilities, the energy storage solutions program, light- and medium-/heavy-duty electric vehicle charging programs, public policy contracts and power purchase agreements, load-management plans, voluntary renewable offers, renewable portfolio standard compliance, and clean-energy industry employment.
Vice Chairman David Arconti told the panel the docket "is not about creating new programs or shifting policy direction" but about ensuring "a reliable, consistent, and comprehensive foundation of data" to evaluate program performance. He said the annual report serves as a centralized resource for policymakers, stakeholders and the public and supported staff—s recommendation to revisit reporting requirements in a future proceeding to balance data needs and administrative burden.
Staff recommended, and the panel approved, annual data-filing requirements intended to keep future editions relevant and useful to stakeholders. Chair Tom Wheel and other commissioners thanked staff for preparing the report. The panel adopted the decision by unanimous roll call.
The decision formalizes a single, agency-maintained source of program metrics intended to improve transparency about how ratepayer investments translate into measurable outcomes. The authority said it expects the centralized reporting to inform future regulatory and policy decisions.
