The application period for the 2022-2023 winter season of the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) will open on Thursday, September 1. As colder days approach, this program supports vulnerable Connecticut residents - both homeowners and renters - with the costs of heating their homes.

"State Rep. Joe Gresko, D-Stratford, co-chairman of the legislative Environment Committee, said Tuesday that he is hoping that Stratford and Bridgeport can soon get in line for funding.

Starting July 1, as part of the on-going effort to make our state and way-of-life more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient, all home heating oil must contain a 5% biodiesel mix. The mix will be purchased from restaurants across the state and will be mixed prior to home delivery (and it comes at no additional cost to homeowners!)
