Retail Unbundling - Connecticut
Status: The state has no unbundled service
programs for residential customers.
Overview: No retail unbundling program is being
actively considered at this time by either the Connecticut Department of Public
Utility Control (DPUC) or the state legislature. Industrial and commercial
customers have been able to receive unbundled service from local distribution
companies (LDCs) since April 1996. There are no minimum volume requirements for
industrial or commercial customers that want this service. Multi-family
customers (with six or more dwelling units supplied through one meter) are also
eligible to purchase their gas directly from a marketer under an agreed-upon
pricing arrangement.
EIA State Data: In 2003, Connecticut had 466,913
residential and 50,691 commercial customers. They consumed 46 and 39 billion
cubic feet of natural gas, respectively. The average prices paid for natural
gas purchased from LDCs by residential and commercial customers were $12.77 and
$10.47 per thousand cubic feet, respectively.
