SB 896 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ESTABLISHING A CAP FOR THE COMBINED PUBLIC BENEFITS CHARGE.

SB 896 caps the Combined Public Benefits Charge for electricity customers at $45 per month. This bill directly affects all end-use customers of electric distribution companies, including residential and commercial users. The key provision sets a strict monthly limit on this fee, which funds programs like energy assistance and renewable energy initiatives. The bill does not change existing programs but ensures no customer pays more than $45 monthly for this specific charge.
