Public Utility Regulatory Authority turned down widespread calls to reopen decision that resulted in a sharp jump in July electric bills.
The increase was approved to reimburse Eversource and United Illuminating for the hundreds of millions of dollars the state requires them to spend annually on social welfare, decarbonization and other so-called public benefit programs.
No one — including Gillett — disputes that the electric utilities are due the rate increase.
The utilities claim PURA , under Gillett , uses a forecast model that has failed to accurately project energy costs.
Eversource claims a PURA-ordered deferral of the Millstone costs a year ago added to the size of this year ’s increase.
A United Illuminating official said the company was reviewing the decision.
