DPUC Hosts Booth at Stamford Town Center in April

April 06, 2005

The Department of Public Utility Control's (DPUC) Consumer Education Outreach Unit, designated by the Connecticut Legislature to educate the public about electric restructuring, will be manning an informational booth at the Stamford Town Center Mall during the month of April. Beginning Wednesday, April 6th, mall visitors will be able to stop by the booth located on the fourth floor to learn about choosing an electric supplier, as well as handy tips on saving money through energy efficiency.
A limited number of energy efficient light bulbs will be given away during the first day of the exhibit. Representatives from the DPUC will be on hand Wednesday through Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., to help people understand the changes that have taken place in Connecticut's electric market.

Connecticut's electric consumers have the option to choose the company that generates their electricity. In addition, the "CTCleanEnergyOptions" program established by the DPUC offers electric consumers environmentally friendly alternatives to traditionally generated electricity. The two companies that are providing clean choices to electric consumers are Community Energy and Sterling Planet. Consumers who choose either of these companies will continue to receive their bill and service from their distribution company, either The United Illuminating Company or The Connecticut Light and Power Company.
