Order Grants License to Supplier, Requires $18,000 Donation To Fuel Fund

A final Connecticut PURA decision granted an electric supplier license to REP Energy, LLC, and conditioned the license on, among other things, an $18,000 donation to Operation Fuel.

"Nevertheless, there is sufficient evidence of potential mismanagement based on REP Energy, LLC's previous mishandling of its Electric Supplier License to warrant setting conditions on REP Energy, LLC's license," PURA said
