Malloy proposals target future power outages

Governor Malloy recently made several proposals to try to ensure the state is better prepared for future power outages. These proposals include performance standards for power companies, a pilot program for electrical micro-grids, and a major disaster drill.

As a result of Tropical Storm Irene and the October snowstorm, two separate studies on emergency preparedness and response were completed. The governor relied on these studies when putting together these proposals.
