Connecticut residents living in the state for at least five years with outstanding student loans who graduated from Connecticut higher education, earning under $125,000 individually or $175,000 for a married couple with at least 50 hours of volunteering since 2024 are eligible.

Public Benefits Charge Down 28%

8/24/2025

📉🔌💡Starting in September, the public benefits charge on Connecticut power customers will drop roughly 28%, saving between $9 and $15 monthly for customers of the state’s utilities.

This adjustment, which reflects new bonding taken out by the state and adjustments to the state’s deal with the Millstone nuclear power complex, is the third time this year electric rates have dropped this year, though hot, humid summer temperatures and four heat waves so far have resulted in high usage rates.

Further drops will come in 2026 when more bonding continues to reduce costs.
