Delivering Reliable Service

CL&P serves customers as a regulated electric power distribution company. We are dedicated to providing safe, dependable and reasonably priced energy.

CL&P is responsible for the poles and wires which deliver the energy. We're no longer responsible for the electric energy generation or supply. It is still our job to restore power if there is an outage and to handle emergencies such as downed wires.

Energy supply is now unregulated and subject to market forces. The Independent System Operator - New England (ISO-NE) operates the electric grid and administers the wholesale electricity marketplace for New England. In this role, ISO-NE is solely responsible for managing the New England power grid and assuring its stability.

As Connecticut's demand for electric power continues to grow, we're investing in our energy future by strengthening the regional transmission system. Read more about Transmission Projects.
