Get involved in lowering the high cost of energy!
CCAG and AARP have held Energy Forums in Watertown, Hartford and Waterford--but in order to reach the greatest number of people with resources for lowering our energy bills, we are presenting this Online Energy Forum.
At this Online Energy Forum you can view videos of speakers at the Waterford forum, peruse Rep. Vickie Nardello's powerpoint presentation on energy, and follow links to resources that will help you lower your energy bills. You can also look at some of the proposed legislation to help consumers with energy costs, including a bill that would create a Connecticut Power Authority.
Most importantly, the Online Energy Forum is a resource that will be periodically updated with the latest information. We suggest that you bookmark this page (http://ccag.net/energyforum) so that if you need resources on energy assistance, you can find them.
In the video below from the Waterford forum, State Representative Vickie Nardello, House Co-Chair of the General Assembly’s Energy and Technology Committee, explains why Connecticut has the highest electric rates in the continental United States and how we can fight back.
Representative Nardello also discusses the major legislation that will be coming out of the Energy and Technology Committee, which includes a public power authority proposal and a windfall profits rebate. For the last three years, CCAG, AARP and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal have advocated for a public power authority. AARP has commissioned a study that proves Connecticut consumers would save money on their power bills if we had a public power authority.
