Urges Interested
Constituents Who Could Not Attend To Contact His Office
For Information
Senator Rob Kane (R-32) urged interested constituents
who were not able to attend the energy forums he co-hosted
in Southbury, Seymour and Watertown to contact his office
for information about the various assistance and conservation
programs available to eligible Connecticut residents.
“The bottom line is that we want people to know
how to get the help they need if they are worried about
keeping warm this winter. Our forums were a fantastic
success and, I believe, very helpful to the many people
who attended each one. However, there are many more
people who need to know what kind of help is available
and I want to make sure they know how to get that information.
For starters, I urge anyone with questions to contact
my legislative office at 1-800-842-1421, or e-mail me
at Rob.Kane@cga.ct.gov,”
said Senator Kane.
Senator Kane, who co-hosted the Watertown energy forum
with Representative Sean Williams (R-68) and the Seymour
forum with Senator Dan Debicella (R-21), thanked the
representatives of Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P)
who attended each of the forums to provide information
and answer questions.
“I learned a lot from attending these forums,
and have even started buying energy efficient light
bulbs after listening to the CL&P officials explain
the benefits. Actually, CL&P offers a Weatherization
Residential Assistance Partnership (WRAP) program to
help income eligible customers make their homes more
efficient and reduce their energy bills. Those with
internet access can find more information at: www.cl-p.com.
Choose the home option, click on the “save energy
& money tab, and follow the link to the WRAP program.
Or, call 1-800-388-WRAP (9727) for more information,”
said Senator Kane.
Senator Kane said that Connecticut is fortunate to
have a wide variety of energy assistance programs, including
the fuel banks operated by some municipalities, the
programs offered by utility companies, the Connecticut
Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) administered by the
state and coordinated by community action agencies,
the Contingency Heating Assistance Program (CHAP), and
the non-profit Operation Fuel.
“In an effort to make it easier for Connecticut
residents to find the information they need, the Senate
Republican Caucus recently launched a public awareness
campaign that includes an easy-to-use website: www.senaterepublicans.ct.gov/energy.
I urge anyone who has questions about the website, or
does not have internet access, to contact my legislative
office at 1-800-842-1421,” said Senator Kane.
