The Public Service Department has announced the release of the draft 2022 Comprehensive Energy Plan, which may be downloaded from the Department of Public Service CEP website.  

In December, the Department will host five public hearings around the state to provide opportunities for in-person comment. Due to the on-going pandemic, the Department will also host additional online public meetings to provide more options for public input on the draft plan.  For more information about times and locations for public hearings, or to learn how to register for online public meetings, see here.

The PSD will accept public comments on the draft CEP until December 20, 2021. Comments may be provided via the CEP email portal, or by mail to:
