Connecticut Public Act 21-53

In June 2021, Connecticut passed legislation establishing a goal of deploying 1,000 MW of energy storage by the end of 2030, making Connecticut the eighth state to set an energy storage target.

Under the bill, Connecticut’s Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) is required to start a proceeding to develop strategies and funding to interconnect energy storage with the distribution grid and develop rate design incentives to encourage storage development.
