Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 25, 2011, Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation (CNG) and The Southern Connecticut Gas Company (SCG), subsidiaries of UIL Holdings Corporation (the Registrant), together with the Office of Consumer Counsel, filed a motion with the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) to reopen CNG and SCG rate cases (Docket Nos. 08-12-06, 08-12-06 RE01, 08-12-07 and 08-12-07 RE01, respectively) for the purposes of reviewing and approving a settlement agreement. The motion also requests that the procedural schedule in SCG’s potential overearnings docket (Docket No. 10-12-17) be suspended until the DPUC issues a decision on the settlement. If approved, the settlement agreement would, among other things, resolve all pending issues with respect to the DPUC’s decisions in CNG’s and SCG’s rate cases, and would also result in the termination of the DPUC’s pending investigation of potential SCG overearnings, upon a finding that SCG’s rates are not more than just, reasonable and adequate. A copy of this filing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.
