The governor was a republican, the legislature who actually makes the policies was not. Don't get blinded by your party affiliation and spread misinformation.

So to correct your comment the Democrats created this problem when the legislature they held the majority of passed the policies which led to deregulation.

You should read the actual plan not the article which is incredibly misleading.(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mnx3ML1iKdc8ZYyJ3pxe1ufhwarVkCHi/view) It's calling for the fees imposed by the state on the energy bills to be included in the state budget and not reflected on our energy bills. It has nothing to do with any money that eversource is receiving but government fees imposed by lawmakers. It also calls for a separation of PURA from DEEP to give it more control of the situation and differentiate PURA policies from DEEP which hinder energy procurement sources. It also calls for the expansion of procurement from nuclear, hydro, and other viable and stable options. Lastly it calls for more oversight of utility companies.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me when you actually read it. Considering so far we are just using state programs funded by tax payers and donations to subsidize the higher costs and excuse their practices as you seem to believe this proposal was about.
