PURA OKs changes to how utilities purchase electricity
Connecticut regulators on Wednesday approved several changes to the process through which utility companies purchase electricity, with hopes of saving customers money by giving them access to better deals on the day-to-day energy markets.

New England not likely to see nuclear power revival any time soon
The long-anticipated renaissance of American nuclear power is unlikely to get its start in New England. Lack of demand from data centers, high costs for labor and materials, unseemly battles with neighbors and — perhaps most importantly — uncertain financial options are all pushing developers of new nuclear technologies elsewhere, particularly to the Deep South and Midwest.

Ned Lamont complained Friday that the Trump administration has yet to release federal energy grants terminated a year ago on the basis of whether the recipients were in states won by Kamala Harris in 2024 and are represented by Democratic senators. “It’s illogical, illegal, intolerable — and that’s in effect what the court found.

Texas Republicans have weathered blue waves before. Is 2026 different?
For the past 20 years, Republicans running statewide in Texas could wake up on Election Day reasonably confident they were going to return to bed that night in a happy mood. This video created with the assistance of AI. Even in 2018, when Democrats Beto O'Rourke and Justin Nelson came within a few scant percentage points of scoring upsets in the races for U.S. Senate and Texas attorney general, respectively, none of the pre-election polling suggested the Republicans would lose.

In an election year, CT’s electricity prices are falling
For years, Connecticut’s position atop the list of states with the priciest electric bills has served as an election-year mantra for Republicans and other critics of the state’s climate-conscious energy strategy. But as energy costs have jumped in many parts of the country over the last year — driven in part by data center development and rising gas prices amid the war with Iran — Connecticut is bucking the trend. Electricity prices are falling, faster than anywhere else in the country.
