Last Friday, Massachusetts and Rhode Island made headlines by advancing their next round of offshore wind projects, a significant leap towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. Unfortunately, Connecticut was notably absent from these exciting developments, putting our state’s clean energy progress—and our future—at risk.
Governor Ned Lamont is currently deliberating whether to proceed with another offshore wind procurement. This is a critical moment for Connecticut, and we must act NOW to ensure we don’t fall behind. Offshore wind presents a monumental opportunity to tackle the climate crisis, create good-paying jobs, protect public health, and stabilize electric rates. But we need swift action to seize this chance.
Here’s how you can help:
1. Contact Governor Lamont Today
- Call his office at (860) 566-4840, ext. 1 during business hours (9 am – 6 pm).
