# Connecticut Advances AmpUp EV Charging Program

On July 1, 2026, Connecticut’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) selected AmpUp’s Adapt & Earn platform as the only one of four pilot projects to advance toward statewide deployment of managed charging at shared and public EV charging sites. After the pilot’s heatwave test, PURA invited AmpUp and the state’s electric utilities to jointly develop a statewide program design. No contract value, solicitation, or proposal deadline has been reported.

- The next step is program design, not a reported statewide contract award. Suppliers should distinguish this planning phase from a procurement solicitation.
- Companies providing managed-charging technology, EV charging services, or utility integration may assess how their capabilities align with the statewide design as it develops.
- The signal identifies a potential future market for public and shared-site charging, but provides no confirmed procurement timeline or implementation requirements.
