The Connecticut Chapter of the Northeast Energy Efficiency Council
began forming in the autumn of 2002 and became a full-fledged entity
for 2003. The Chapter was organized by both then-current NEEC members
and like-minded organizations to promote energy efficiency in CT.
Participants felt they should make better use of their collective
voice.
During this same time period, the state’s budget faced
hardships. As budget shortfalls escalated, the Legislature pursued
all means,
including confiscating utility system benefit funds, to balance
the budget. In response, NEEC CT led an effort to educate legislators
and the public to the worthiness of efficiency programs. The Chapter
was successful in convincing policy makers that the continued funding
of these programs was necessary for the citizens of Connecticut.
Through
these initial efforts, the Chapter has become a respected participant
regarding CT energy policy and planning. NEEC CT holds
this position through the labor of its members. The work is not
complete and, as such, we ask for your support. Additional information
regarding the Connecticut Chapter can be found below.
