2007-2008
The Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) has completed its review of CL&P's plan to install advanced meters. On December 19, 2007, the DPUC issued a Final Decision on the plan.
CL&P had proposed to invest over $275 million in an advanced metering system. The DPUC rejected CL&P's proposal and instead ordered CL&P to study advanced meters and to conduct a rate pilot to determine customer acceptance of innovative rates, such as time-of-use and other real-time pricing schemes.
