Jeffrey Butler, millionaire CEO of CL&P put meters above delivery and repair

Jeffrey Butler understands customers are cold at night, but won't apologize, and surely won't forfeit his pay for failing at his million dollar job.


They may be, but you're a failure. Why did you leave PG&E after 27 years ?


Faced with mounting criticism that hundreds of thousands remain without power, Connecticut Light & Power’s CEO Jeffrey Butler argued the case for CL&P and its parent company NU saying “We have a business to run.”

While saying there will be a time to look at these issues, Governor Malloy defended the company saying “Let’s be honest. There is no way these utilities could supply 900 or 1,200 crews 52 weeks a year . . . and provide affordable electricity.”

Yet Butler had (your) money for Smart Meters. He should go back to California and take his control freak, big brother Globalism attempts like Smart Meters with him back to PG&E.

Prior to joining CL&P, Butler spent 27 years at Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in San Francisco, California. Most recently, Butler served as senior vice president—Energy Delivery, where he was responsible for all aspects of electric and gas utility operations for approximately 10 million gas and electric customers. Butler’s diverse background and extensive experience also includes leadership and management positions in Energy Delivery, Transmission and Distribution, Maintenance, Construction, Customer Field Services and Metering activities at PG&E.

Metering. Transmission. It seems that he puts charging you ahead of delivering to you in practice.

And why did he leave PG&E after such a long time ? Was it to spread Smart Meters far and wide like a twisted modern day Johnny Appleseed ?

Who cares about his self-aggrandizing paper pusher post at the United Way. He could obviously care less that medical patients of all kinds, including cancer patients like my uncle, were made to spend nights at 35 degrees.

I even saw Police start to shill once they had station power and say it would be worse if it was sub-freezing. Once they got what they wanted it was back to brainwashed law and order moron statements. What's the difference in a house at midnight at 32 degrees or 25 degrees ? Having lived it in 2005 and nearly dying from a lung infection (again) thanks to the cold and my earlier Globalist, Bormann group Merck near fatal maiming... there isn't one.

And don't mention shelters. There isn't enough room for everyone. Not even close no matter how much time and money is wasted on stupidity like massages and lobster in Simsbury.


John Betkowski III of PURA had issued a draft decision on the meters recommending rejection of the $863 million request from Connecticut Light & Power, arguing that the benefit was too small to justify the expense. Smart meters can break down electric costs on an hourly basis.

...and watch you in real time. Advanced ones can shut off appliances or your entire property.

DEEP Commissioner Daniel Esty had made the request to PURA to put off the final decision until his agency can come up with a policy on smart meters...

Both Esty and Jepsen have opposed the smart meter application. Esty came under further scrutiny when it became known that he earned $205,000 as a consultant for Northeast Utilities, the parent company of CL&P. Esty said it was more than five years ago and no one he worked with is still with the company.


Jepsen made his argument in a brief filed with state regulators, who are reviewing CL&P’s request to replace all the existing analog meters with advanced meter infrastructure. The utility also asked the regulators to grant the power company a guaranty that it can recover the entire cost of installation from consumers. The utility’s request is being made before the costs are evaluated to assure they fall within a reasonable and acceptable range. “CL&P’s proposal would force the company’s ratepayers to spend at least $500 million on new meters that are likely to provide few benefits in return,” Jepsen said in his petition. He also asked regulators to “continue to evaluate emerging meter system technologies as well as other conservation programs” and only agree to the deployment of smart meters if and when they are cost effective. State regulators previously approved a limited study of 10,000 meters. CL&P reported the results to the Department of Public Utility Control a year ago. Jepsen claimed, “The pilot results showed no beneficial impact on total energy usage. And, the savings that were seen in the pilot were limited to certain types of customers and would be far outweighed by the cost of installing the new meter systems.” Jepsen also pointed out that the meters CL&P are seeking to replace were installed between 1994 and 2005 and have a 20 year life expectancy, so he believes replacing them early with smart meters will incur unnecessary additional costs for customers.

They have the nerve to say transmission line failure was the fault of WTNH weather staff when the public's money is obviously going to foreign built techno-toys to serve a Globalist agenda ?
