A Connecticut superior court (Docket HHB-CV21-6063122-S) has stayed, pending appeal, enforcement of its recent decision that affirmed a Connecticut PURA decision which, among other things, limits voluntary renewable electricity supply offers (VRO) from retail electric suppliers to using only RECs sourced from certain RTOs and which meet certain definitions, and which prohibits the use of the term "renewable energy" to market a REC product

See background on the PURA proceeding and the court's affirmation of PURA's order here

Retail suppliers have appealed the superior court's order to appellate court (AC 44890) and have received a stay from the superior court pending such appeal

PURA had been moving forward in establishing new compliance deadlines for the order, but in light of the stay, PURA stated that, "the Authority will suspend this proceeding until further notice."
