AN ACT REMOVING ENERGY PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.

SB 308 would transfer energy procurement authority from Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to another state entity. The bill removes DEEP's role in procuring energy, except for specific facilities managing waste material like food waste or waste-to-energy plants. This change directly affects DEEP's responsibilities in energy procurement, shifting that function away from the department. The bill focuses on restructuring agency authority without altering energy policy or rates.
