Thu Jan 02 13:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Eversource Accuses Connecticut Regulator of Politically Motivated Rate Decisions
**Hartford, CT** – Eversource Energy has accused the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) of making rate decisions based on predetermined political goals, rather than objective analysis. In a recent filing, the utility company stated that recent PURA rulings are “a striking confirmation that PURA’s rate decisions are a function of a pre-determined, politically motivated goal.” Eversource did not elaborate on the specifics of its claim, but the statement suggests a significant disagreement between the utility and the state regulatory body over the fairness and justification of recently approved rate adjustments. This accusation raises concerns about the transparency and impartiality of the rate-setting process in Connecticut and promises to fuel further debate on the issue.
