Eversource: We’re ‘Disappointed’ That New Canaan Is Abandoning Natural Gas Plans for Community

Like many residents, we were disappointed to learn that the Town of New Canaan decided to abandon plans to switch to natural gas for the entire community, and instead pursue a propane system for only town and school buildings. That decision effectively eliminates natural gas as a viable economic option for residents and businesses. For more than two years, we at Eversource (previously Yankee Gas) have been working with New Canaan officials on plans to bring natural gas to homes, businesses, and municipal buildings in town. In fact, we’ve been collaborating with cities and towns across the state to expand natural gas to Connecticut residents under the state’s Comprehensive Energy Strategy. Our Two-Fold Responsibility

We’re proud to deliver a clean, affordable energy option to new communities and we take that responsibility seriously.
