HARTFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork) – The push is on for federal intervention over fixed charges on many Connecticut electric bills.
State regulators trimmed CL&P’s rate request and even lowered the company’s profit margin on its poor performance after recent storms. But as WCBS 880’s Paul Murnane reported, they allowed a monthly fee of $19.25– an increase from the current $16.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal wants the feds to review a charge that he says amounts to a loss of consumer control over bills.
