ACTION PLAYBOOK:

Contact Your Utility Regulators

Utility regulators can craft climate-smart regulations that hold utilities accountable.

Every state has a commission that regulates electric utilities. While the hefty policymaking is left to state legislatures and energy offices, the commission can craft rules that push utilities toward decarbonization and energy efficiency. They hear from the public much less often than state legislators do, which makes it all the more influential for changemakers to weigh in.
