Connecticut Natural Gas

United Illuminating and Connecticut Natural Gas parent Avangrid said its renewable energy segment was the culprit behind an 11 percent drop in its first-quarter net income.

Connecticut's consumer watchdog said it has agreed to a rate increase settlement with Connecticut Natural Gas Corp. (CNG), potentially ending an “intense” two-month negotiation period.

Orange-based electric-gas utility parent Avangrid on Tuesday said its second-quarter profits fell by about 12 percent due in large part to storm-related interruptions at its two wind farms.

Orange electric-gas utility Avangrid, parent of Connecticut Natural Gas, announced it completed the sale of its natural-gas storage unit.

Federal regulators on Wednesday issued a key approval for a $93 million expansion of pipeline infrastructure that will bring more natural gas to Connecticut.

Avangrid's Connecticut Natural Gas said it has completed a 3.6-mile natural gas line in Coventry, which will provide heat to seven municipal buildings.

As cold temperatures approach, the Mark Twain House & Museum has become a natural gas customer for the first time since the famed author lived there.

When Connecticut launched its ambitious $7 billion, 10-year effort in 2014 to convert approximately 280,000 utility customers to natural gas, the plan's success hinged on federal government projections that oil prices would climb for the next decade or more.

As a part of its commitment to convert approximately 200,000 oil-heat customers to natural gas by 2023, Avangrid said this week that it will soon expand service to Bolton and Coventry.

Perhaps the most important question in building energy infrastructure is “who's going to pay for it?” Under Connecticut's ongoing procurement, and similar proceedings in other New England states, the answer is changing.
