Investigate the Avangrid-PURA Communications
Recently released public records revealed repeated phone calls and text messages between a PURA commissioner and an Avangrid executive during the period between a draft and final decision in a major utility rate case.
The final decision ultimately shifted millions of dollars in Avangrid's favor. While we do not know what was discussed, the timing, frequency, and lack of transparency raise serious questions that deserve an independent investigation. The Connecticut Office of State Ethics needs to investigate these communications to determine whether ethics or ex parte rules were violated. If public confidence in this decision has been compromised, the case should be reopened and reconsidered. Connecticut deserves utility regulation that is transparent, independent, and accountable to the public. Send a letter today urging the Office of State Ethics to investigate. |
