The Benefits of the Public Benefits Charge

The Public Benefits Charge – What Is It, Why Did It Increase, Will It Go Back Down, What Does It Do, Why Is It Important?

February 10, Monday, 12-1PM, Online

Our electric bills, and in particular the Public Benefits section, have been the subject of intense public and political discussion. With bills before the legislature, this webinar is designed to add facts and context to that discussion:

• What programs are funded in the Pubic Benefit Charge?
• What is the value of these programs and why are they on the electric bill ?
• Should they be moved from the electric bill to the general tax?
• Who oversees these programs and how are ratepayers protected?
• What caused the increases to our bills this last year?

Presenters:

• Andy Bauer, Connecticut Energy Network Administrator
• Bernard Pelletier, People’s Action for Clean Energy
• Charles Rothenberger, Save the Sound

This program is sponsored by the CT Energy Network, PACE, Clean Water Action, the IREJN, and Save the Sound. REGISTER

This is a free event.
