E2: Energy & Environment Council
What is E2?
E2: CBIA Energy & Environment Council is a dynamic, effective group of businesspeople who work collaboratively to drive public policy on energy and environmental issues.
What makes us different?
E2 members engage in the legislative and regulatory development process to ensure a more competitive business climate and a healthier bottom line for Connecticut companies.
We were instrumental in passing legislation to stimulate private sector investment in brownfields, stabilize future electricity prices, and reform how regulations are adopted.
We work closely with regulatory agencies to make sure our member concerns are reflected in state and federal permitting and other administrative decisions.
