Executive Order for All Electric Building Codes

What is happening? The CT Governor used an Executive Order 21-3 to call for all electric building codes, thereby moving natural gas out of building codes.

Why is this important? The Governor action is attributed to the state not being on track to meet its emission reductions.

How will this be important? In addition to building code changes, the Executive Order will impact decarbonization of industrial thermal processes, updates to the state’s electric vehicle plan and updates to the state’s Integrated Resources Plan.
