Sens. Harding, Fazio, Gordon Urge Probe of Possible Massive Heating Rate Hike

CT News Junkie

Yankee Gas is asking state regulators for a $209 million rate hike, which would mean a monthly increase of more than $46 for residential heating customers.

Yankee Gas’s application was filed Tuesday with the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA), and if approved would become effective in November 2025.

Republican state Sen. Ryan Fazio, a ranking senator on the Energy and Technology Committee, Sen. Jeff Gordon, and Senate Minority Leader Stephen Harding issued a statement:

“We urge PURA to evaluate this filing in a probing fashion and defend consumers with all legal authority at their disposal. Family budgets in Connecticut are already badly strained,” the statement reads.
