Even before Gov. Dannel
P. Malloy signed key energy legislation into law on Monday, Connecticut's
three regulated natural gas companies and a Houston energy company asked
regulators to OK expansion plans that anticipated the state's new push for
natural gas.
One measure the governor signed expands the state's natural
gas distribution system. The states regulated natural gas companies have
already filed a joint proposal outlining how they would connect 280,000
customers over 10 years.
"Obviously, I'd like as much of that done today as
possible," Malloy said soon after signing the new law.
Connecticut Natural Gas, Southern Connecticut Gas and Yankee
Gas presented state regulators with a rare joint proposal last month asking the
state to approve a new rate plan to finance the massive project hooking up
hundreds of thousands of natural gas customers.
