PURA Denies Supplier’s REC Compliance Request
On July 22, 2026, Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) issued an order denying Eligo’s motion, stating, “[t]he Authority declines to grant the Company’s request that the Authority either approve the use of the 2024 RECs for compliance with RPS obligations in calendar year 2025 or rescind the Authority’s NEPOOL notification requirement. Both the 2020 Precedent and Conn. Agencies Regs. § 16-245a-1(c) explicitly prohibit the Authority from entertaining requests to reallocate RECs. Further, in order for RECs to be eligible for Connecticut RPS compliance, an electric supplier or EDC is required to settle all RECs in the Connecticut subaccount in NEPOOL GIS by the last day of the applicable trading period…For calendar year 2024 RPS compliance, the last day for electric suppliers and EDCs to acquire, transfer, and settle RECs was June 15, 2025.”
