Deregulation
A series of "deregulation" proceedings by the federal government during the early 1990s resulted in partially deregulated natural gas markets in Connecticut. Since April 1996, firm transportation service has been available to commercial and industrial customers in the state. Transportation service allows customers to buy gas from third-party marketers but still have the regulated local utility company (like CNG) continue to deliver the gas. Prior to April 1996, CNG was the only source responsible for buying and delivering gas to its customers.
