State to review CL&P meter complaints

State regulators are investigating whether some Connecticut Light & Power Co. meters are inaccurate, and plan to review CL&P policies for meter-related complaints and refunds.

State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said he asked for the investigation, saying his office has received dozens of complaints claiming the company appeared to be “stonewalling” customers who protested unexplained usage spikes.

Blumenthal indicated he plans to contact attorneys general in other states with the aim of investigating whether an industrywide problem exists.
