CUB at Work
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!
Consumer Education
Information about your utilities should be accessible to everyone. Utility analysis and policy language can be challenging for the average person to understand and hard to take action on. We speak the language of the industry and regulators so you don’t have to. Learn more about your utilities!
Building Power
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!
