IRS990/Desc0Litigation - (Regulatory Advocacy) - UCAN advocates for utility ratepayers in the areas of energy, water and telecommunications. UCAN accomplishes this by participating in regulatory proceedings before the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the agency that regulates investor owned utility services, as well as other regulatory and administrative bodies. UCAN's employees and experts have subject matter experience on complicated regulatory and utility ratepayer issues. This experience allows us to participate in legal proceedings, conduct discovery, cross examine utility witnesses, file briefs and submit comments to proposed regulatory decisions advocating for strong utility ratepayer protections for residential and small business utility customers.
