Program Overview
The Connecticut Innovative Energy Solutions (IES) Program is a statewide initiative designed to identify, pilot, and scale innovative ideas that support a decarbonized, affordable, and equitable electric grid for Connecticut.
With funding of up to $5 million per project, the IES Program provides resources and support for implementing innovative projects over a 12-to-18-month deployment. Projects that demonstrate benefits, cost-effectiveness, and scalability may be deployed at scale in Connecticut.
The IES Program also offers an opportunity for third-party innovators and technology developers to form collaborative partnerships with Connecticut’s two investor-owned EDCs, The Connecticut Light and Power Company d/b/a Eversource Energy (Eversource) and The United Illuminating Company (UI), and play an active role in building Connecticut’s clean energy future. The IES Program’s current theme is Residential Affordability.
