Congratulations to Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo Director Gregg Dancho on his retirement! After nearly 45 years of dedicated service, Gregg has left an indelible mark on our organization and the community. Over the past 24 years, our company has collaborated with him and his team to support educational programs, sponsorships, and green energy renovations of the Zoo’s facilities, made possible through Connecticut’s Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA) Tax Credit Program. Gregg’s unwavering commitment to the Bridgeport community and his passion for wildlife have truly transformed the Zoo into a premier destination. We extend our heartfelt thanks for his incredible contributions and dedication to the communities we serve.

Earlier this week, #TeamUI was pleased to welcome Ansonia Mayor David Cassetti to our headquarters for a tour of our Emergency Command Center and our UI yard. Discussing the complexities of maintaining the electric grid on both blue-sky days and during storm is one of our most important responsibilities, and we were proud to welcome Mayor Cassetti and his team to the heart of our region's electric grid.

We are proud to serve our customers with safe, reliable service. After a severe storm devastated our electric system in Trumbull and Shelton, our line crew worked around the clock to restore power to thousands of homes. We don’t do it for the kudos, but notes of appreciation from our customers truly do make our day. We are grateful to serve such a supportive community.
