Connecticut GOP governor candidate Ryan Fazio has proposed a plan to reduce consumer electric bills by 20% by eliminating the billion-dollar public benefits charge and terminating costly clean energy programs. He argues that current policies contribute to the state's high electric rates, advocating for increased natural gas supply and calling for an end to participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Fazio's proposals have elicited mixed reactions from both Republicans and Democrats, raising concerns about energy grid stability and affordability.
