Item  7.01
 Regulation FD Disclosure

On November 8, 2011, James P. Torgerson, President and Chief Executive Officer of UIL Holdings Corporation (the Registrant or UIL Holdings), will give a presentation in Orlando, Florida at the 46th Annual EEI Financial Conference.  The presentation contains items previously not disclosed in reports filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These items relate to the Registrant’s subsidiaries, The United Illuminating Company and Southern Connecticut Gas, Connecticut Natural Gas and Berkshire Gas Company.  These items are (i) revised ten year electric distribution, electric transmission and gas distribution capital expenditure projections, (ii) revised five year electric distribution, electric transmission and gas distribution rate base projections, (iii) a five year gas distribution rate base by company and (iv) an update on investments in regulated renewables.  A copy of the Registrant's presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit99.1.

The information in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

UIL Holdings also believes earnings per share (EPS) information as presented in its earnings expectations is useful in understanding the earnings expectations for the business, as a whole.  The amounts presented in the earnings guidance show the EPS for each of UIL Holdings’ lines of business.  EPS is calculated by dividing the projected 2011 net income for each line of business by the projected average number of shares of UIL Holdings common stock outstanding for 2011.  Total consolidated EPS is a GAAP-basis presentation.

Certain statements contained herein, regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These include statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts for the future. Such forward-looking statements are based on UIL Holdings’ expectations and involve risks and uncertainties; consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, changes in demand for electricity, gas and other products and services, unanticipated weather conditions, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors affecting the operations, markets, products and services of UIL Holdings’ subsidiaries, The United Illuminating Company, The Southern Connecticut Gas Company, Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation and The Berkshire Gas Company. Such risks and uncertainties with respect to UIL Holdings’ recent acquisition of The Southern Connecticut Gas Company, Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation and The Berkshire Gas Company include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the expected benefits will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period. The foregoing and other factors are discussed and should be reviewed in UIL Holdings’ most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other subsequent periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements included herein speak only as of the date hereof and UIL Holdings undertakes no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances.
