Connecticut faces a growing energy affordability gap, with nearly half a million households spending over $600 million more than they can afford on energy. The report from Operation Fuel reveals an increase in energy costs, with low-income households paying an average of $992 more annually than their affordability threshold. The state's heating assistance program is facing funding shortfalls, prompting the need for more funding from the U.S. Congress. The report also highlights the highest energy cost burdens in low-income neighborhoods and the exclusion of much of the older rental housing in the state from the home weatherization assistance program.
