Advocacy
All Oregonians deserve access to the utilities that help them thrive. For almost 40 years, we have advocated to make Oregon utilities affordable, accessible, reliable, and clean. Our team of advocates works at every level of utility policy in Oregon. Learn more about our work on electricity, gas, phone, and internet!

Your voice can make a difference in improving your utilities. We help connect you to the utility issues that impact your household. Together, we can achieve policies that work for people, not profits. Learn how you can speak up for better utilities in Oregon!
