SB 544 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REPEALING CERTAIN ELECTRIC SUBSIDIES, PROGRAMS AND TAX EXEMPTIONS.

SB 544 repeals specific electric subsidies, programs, and tax exemptions aimed at reducing electricity demand. It eliminates subsidies that increase demand, bans new utility programs, removes authority to regulate electric vehicle chargers, ends local government zero-interest loans for heat pump installations, and repeals tax breaks for data centers. The bill directly affects utility regulators, local governments, data center operators, and consumers relying on these programs. Key mechanisms include formally repealing existing provisions and prohibiting future program creation under the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. These changes take effect immediately upon enactment without altering other utility regulations.
