In recent months Connecticut residents have seen significant rate increases in their electric bills and have experienced consistently poor storm performance by utility companies. Under Arconti’s leadership, the state adopted the “Take Back Our Grid Act” during a special session of the legislature.
"Pro-customer energy policies are a major priority and Rep. Arconti has his finger on the pulse of those issues," said Speaker-designate Ritter. "I am confident that with his leadership we will continue moving forward to bring our ratepayers the relief they need."
