The Basics
What does This mean?
Power and heat is a human right – but the utilities that provide this service often don’t act in the public interest or prioritize affordable service for residents. This session will explore how we can bridge our strong advocacy at PUCs into the public eye through utility accountability campaigns that allow us to build more power in both spaces.
Why Does This Matter?
Accountability can reduce the scheming of utilities, block unjustified rate hikes or recoupment, and ensure that ratepayers are getting quality and affordable service they deserve.
How can this advance equitable building decarbonization?
Accountability campaigns to counter gas utility opposition to decarbonization and counter efforts by electric utilities to unjustly raise rates can help us build strong coalitions and ensure an equitable transition. Plus - it’s FUN!
