How do we advance the efficient use of energy?

The programs of the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund are designed to alleviate potential electricity shortages and reduce stress on Connecticut’s transmission lines—especially in southwestern Connecticut—by reducing overall energy consumption and reducing load during periods of peak critical demand.

CEEF programs benefits include:

  • Improved air quality.
  • Reducing energy demand means power plants operate for fewer hours and emit less air pollutants.
  • Lower costs.
  • By reducing federally mandated congestion charges on customer bills.
