07/17/08 Connecticut Natural Gas Under Inestigation. Greenwich Customers Could Be Affected


Southern Connecticut Gas Co. Under DPUC Investigation

Hartford Courant

State regulators said they began an investigation Wednesday into the finances of Southern Connecticut Gas Co., which earned $12.1 million more than authorized by the state over a 12-month period.

The investigation comes a month after the state Department of Public Utility Control opened a similar investigation into Connecticut Natural Gas Corp., a sister company to Southern Connecticut Gas. That probe is looking into CNG's earning at least $14 million more than authorized.

Both companies are owned by Energy East Corp., a regional utility based in New Gloucester, Maine. Southern Connecticut Gas serves 165,000 residents mostly along the shore from Westport to Old Saybrook, and Connecticut Natural Gas has about 155,000 customers in the Hartford, New Britain and Greenwich areas.

Robert Brennan, a spokesman for the companies, said Wednesday that they could not comment on open investigations. "But we'll be fully cooperating with them every step of the way," he said.
