CBIA BizCast: Deep Dive Into Connecticut’s Energy Policy

One of the most important issues for Connecticut residents and businesses is the rising cost of energy, a major factor driving the state’s affordability crisis.

On this episode of the CBIA BizCast, CBIA Foundation director Dustin Nord sits down with host Amanda Marlow to talk about a new report about the relationship between natural gas and electricity prices.

Produced by the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis on behalf of the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters, the report claims the state has become more polluted and has more expensive electricity because of the adoption of natural gas over the past 25 years.

Nord shares his concerns about the report and offers an analysis of Connecticut’s energy infrastructure.

Episode Highlights:

• Drivers of high energy costs
• Natural gas in Connecticut
• Long-term cost, infrastructure, and environmental picture
