Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP)

DEEP brings together the former Departments of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Public Utility Control (DPUC) along with the energy policy group from the Office of Policy and Management (OPM).

DEEP will allow us to integrate energy and environmental policies and programs in a more systematic, proactive, and coherent manner. Many of the pollution problems that we face are a function of our energy choices, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and the integration of energy and environmental policymaking will give us a better structure for decision-making and position our state as a national leader on these issues.
