Our energy systems are built for one purpose: providing energy to people. With the rollout of climate regulation, we are also moving toward utilities that are safe, healthy, and beneficial to our planet. But how can we maintain our systems to work for people who use them?

At CUB’s 14th annual policy conference, Energy Policy for People & Planet, we’re striving to answer these questions and so much more! Join us for a day of discussion, networking, and sharing diverse perspectives.

CUB’s 2024 Conference Consumer Champion: Michelle Scala

CUB is thrilled to announce the recipient of our 2024 Consumer Champion Award is Michelle Scala. Michelle Scala serves as the Manager of Regulatory Strategy at the Oregon Public Utility Commission where she works collaboratively with industry peers on advancing equitable systems, socially informed policy, energy justice, and ratemaking for the public interest.

Michelle joined the Commission in 2020 first as a Senior Energy Analyst and later as Energy Justice Program Manager before accepting her current role. In all these capacities Michelle has endeavored to advance the human interest, dismantle harmful frameworks, and elevate the perspectives and experiences of communities engaged with the energy system.

Michelle strives to support the important role of advocacy organizations in state government and hopes that we, as a state, can achieve our goal of a just transition to a clean energy future.

Before the Commission, Michelle worked on socioeconomic issues across state government, including as an economist, policy advisor, and fiscal analyst.
