  4. The RecessionImpact on CT Initiatives • Receipts for CT Energy Efficiency & CT Clean Energy funds, collected via the Systems Benefits Charge on electric bills , are decreasing due to decline in demand and increase in customer arrearages • State Government, in order to balance its budget, is looking at seizing assets of various funds

  5. Impact of the Stimulus CT Initiatives • The Stimulus still remains largely undefined & appears to be directing little $$ for use by CT’s dedicated funds… instead it’s is directing $$ to other areas, such as Department of Social Services & Community Action programs for distribution • Effectively, the Stimulus will not replace CT funds, but will provide additional $$ for energy efficiency, renewable and new technology efforts • CT legislature is looking at undertaking new or complementary initiatives related to the Stimulus, thus preserving our dedicated funds

  6. Possibility of New CT Initiatives? • We’re currently not developing new initiatives, but preserving and forwarding existing projects & programs • If all approved renewable & other projects come on line … we’ll have met well over our needs • For now – we have to wait & see what actually comes to fruition
