PowerLines is a national nonpartisan consumer advocacy nonprofit that aims to modernize the utility regulatory system for American energy consumers to lower utility bills and grow the economy. PowerLines focuses on state public utilities commissions (PUCs), which play a critical role in determining how much people pay for utility bills, what energy investments utilities make, and where new energy infrastructure projects are built. With 200 PUC commissioners overseeing more than $200 billion in utility spending each year, PUCs have significant influence over the future of our energy system. PowerLines seeks to advance the public interest through effective utility regulation and envisions a world where people are empowered to shape energy decisions that create stronger communities.
