- The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CNLTL) operates as an electric utility serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers primarily in Connecticut. The company generates, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity through a network of power plants, transmission lines, substations, and distribution systems; it offers energy efficiency programs, renewable energy initiatives, smart grid technologies, and customer service solutions including billing and outage management. Headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, and founded in 1882 as one of the oldest utilities in the United States, it conducts operations exclusively within the state across urban, suburban, and rural areas.
In recent developments, the company integrated advanced metering infrastructure as part of a statewide smart grid rollout completed in 2024, enhancing real-time energy monitoring and demand response capabilities for over 1.2 million customers. It formed a strategic alliance with Eversource Energy in 2025 for joint offshore wind procurement projects aimed at expanding clean energy capacity to 2 gigawatts by 2030. Additionally, The Connecticut Light and Power Company secured a $150 million federal grant in late 2024 under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to upgrade transmission infrastructure for grid resilience against extreme weather events.
