ACTION ALERT: Testify against SB 647 by 3 PM

This is a critical week for environmental legislation, and your voice is needed more than ever! SB 647 is a devastating attack on clean energy and energy efficiency in Connecticut.


If passed, it would eliminate funding for energy efficiency programs, the CT Green Bank, heat pump incentives, and EV infrastructure. It would also divert funds meant for renewables toward fossil fuels, weakening support for true clean energy.


Here are a few talking points we recommend using to take action: 

• Connecticut’s Public Benefits Charge (PBC) funds vital energy efficiency programs that help lower costs for residents across the state. Fact sheet. 
• SB 647 threatens consumer protections, dismantles affordable energy programs, and makes it harder for residents to pay their energy bills.
• Tell legislators you want clean energy programs to remain fully funded and intact through the PBC. 
• How much funding from these programs came to your town last year? Find out here (page 16).
