Legislative Agenda

A core component of Generation Power CT’s advocacy is at the Connecticut State Capitol. There, we build support among lawmakers, regulators, service providers, advocates, and the public to drive change

Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) Engagement

Generation Power CT advocates at PURA, sharing our experience providing emergency assistance to thousands of CT residents each year. Some of our priority issues include increasing awareness of medical protections, shutoff prevention, increasing access to shared solar power, and accessible and affordable payment plans.

Community Engagement and Research Fuel Our Advocacy

Understanding the specific challenges that our neighbors face is key to helping them in meaningful ways. That’s why Generation Power CT is dedicated to pursuing community-forward research across Connecticut to understand how energy burden impacts residents.

When I received the notice from Generation Power CT that they would cover my entire electric bill, I broke down in tears. I cried because, in that moment, I felt hope. It gave me the chance to breathe, even just for a moment, it means so much to me.  -A Client Testimonial
