With skyrocketing energy bills and the interests of utilities as firmly entrenched across the state as ever, our consumer energy advocacy (originally called the Consumer Energy Program) filled this vital role in protecting ratepayers in important cases before the PSC. In just a few short years, through our advocacy we have built a broad coalition of business groups and advocacy organizations that seek to ensure a level playing field for all, and these efforts have resulted in millions of dollars in savings for energy consumers. We will continue to advocate for lower utility bills and a more diversified state energy portfolio to mitigate future rate increases.
