Summary
Ryan Fazio is blaming Governor Ned Lamont for soaring electric bills in Connecticut, accusing him of passing laws that increased public benefits charges and giving Eversource sweetheart deals. But the facts show those same laws aimed to reduce those charges — and customers are already seeing savings. Lamont credits his administration with lowering energy costs through competition and recent settlements, while Fazio’s plan promises 20% bill cuts by eliminating state-mandated programs. The truth? Electric rates are shaped by layers of regulation, market forces, and federal policy — not just one governor’s decisions.
