ABOUT US

THE UTILITY ACTION ALLIANCE

Utility Action Alliance was founded to weaken utilities’ political power and influence. For too long, for-profit utilities have proven to be one of the main barriers to passing and implementing policies that provide resilience, increase affordability, and ensure a healthier future. At the same time, utilities make money for CEOs and shareholders by charging customers to build unnecessary pipelines and infrastructure that harm our health, environment, and ratepayers. By holding utilities accountable for their actions, we aim to significantly deplete their ability to block progress toward a cleaner and healthier future.

NEWS AND RESOURCES

OUR UTILITY ACCOUNTABILITY CAMPAIGN

Across the county, utilities are among the most well-resourced opponents of clean energy policies. After decades of marketing by the methane industry to hide the safety risks posed by its product, including the diseases it causes — from asthma to cancer and more — many families remain unaware of the drawbacks of burning methane gas in their homes and that more efficient, safer, and affordable alternatives are available today.

Utilities give massive political contributions, run misleading ads and information campaigns, and invest heavily in promoting themselves. All of that makes these utilities powerful and sophisticated players in public policy spheres. We’re going to change that with people-power and the truth.
