About
Our mission is to advocate for the lowest possible bills for customers of California’s regulated utilities consistent with safety, reliability, and the state's climate goals
Our Work
Our team of dedicated and passionate analysts, engineers, auditors, and lawyers work hard every day to put affordability, accessibility and equity at the forefront of our advocacy efforts, because utility services are essential. We help ensure this by: (1) proposing creative ways to lower utility bills, (2) helping transition to a clean energy future at the lowest possible cost, (3) identifying new ways to maintain grid reliability, (4) ensuring that utilities are safely and efficiently maintaining their systems, and (5) assisting with prioritizing access & affordability to essential broadband and water services, especially in underserved or unserved areas.
