Rocky Hill, Conn., Sept. 16, 2008– The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund Board has screened and selected five renewable energy projects to forward to the Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) for consideration of a long-term Electric Purchase Agreement (EPA) under Round 3 of Project 150. Seven projects in total were reviewed and evaluated under a 4-step review process implemented by the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund. All seven projects will undergo additional evaluation by the state's two electric distribution companies, the Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P) and the United Illuminating Company (UI). This was the third round of projects selected through Project 150, an innovative program created by the Connecticut General Assembly to develop not less than 150 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy generation in Connecticut.
