State to Regulate Family-Run Utility
Connecticut movers agreed to regulate the Fletcher Electric Light Co a family operation serving about 400 residents near the Mass border. Owner Roderick Fletcher and his son manage the firm with only a wife, two sons and occasional staff, fearing higher costs could force hiring and end the private operation. The PUCA hearing accepted their pledge to submit to state regulation, though one local resident supported accountability while worrying overhead could raise rates.
