| Connecticut's renewable portfolio standard requires 48% of the electricity retail load in the state to come from renewable energy sources by 2030. https://www.c2es.org/document/renewable-and-alternate-energy-portfolio-standards/ | Connecticut has five low and moderate-income clean energy programs, which use Solar PV, Energy Efficiency, and thermal technologies. Across the five programs, businesses, homeowners, organizations, renters and those in multifamily housing are eligible. The programs work in a variety of ways, including reduced interest rates, rebates, on-bill financing, and loan loss reserve financed via alternative credit scores. https://www.cesa.org/resource-library/resource/directory-of-state-low-and-moderate-clean-energy-programs/ | Deregulated | $86,353,301 |
