SC21010- Aquarion Water Co. of Connecticut v. Public Utilities Regulatory Authority ("The plaintiff, Aquarion Water Company of Connecticut (Aquarion), appeals from the judgment of the trial court dismissing in part its appeal from the final decision of the defendant, the Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA), on the rate application submitted by Aquarion in 2022. Aquarion claims that PURA acted arbitrarily, capriciously, and in abuse of its discretion by denying its requests (1) to include in its rate base $42,136,826 million in capital improvements, and (2) to recover from ratepayers certain operating costs, namely, $2,222,298 million in employee incentive compensation and $1,498,051 million in deferred conservation expenses. Aquarion also claims that the total effect of PURA's rate order was confiscatory, in violation of the takings clause of the fifth amendment to the United States constitution and General Statutes § 16-19e (a). We conclude that PURA erred in rejecting Aquarion's request to recover $1,498,051 million in deferred conservation expenses but that its final decision on Aquarion's rate application was not otherwise improper or unconstitutional. Accordingly, we reverse in part the judgment of the trial court.")
