Testimony, Comments & Press Releases

NASUCA is an association of 41 consumer advocate offices in 39 states and the District of Columbia. NASUCA members are designated by the laws of their respective states to represent the interests of mostly residential consumers before state commissions, federal regulators and the courts.
NASUCA believes that these principles must be included in any restructuring legislation passed by Congress to help insure that state efforts are successful and residential electric consumers are better off. Without them -- all of them -- consumers will be harmed, not helped, by restructuring.
NASUCA particularly supports the market power, reliability, and consumer protection principles. These issues must be creatively and comprehensively addressed at the Federal level or our efforts could ultimately culminate in unregulated monopolies unleashing a barrage of anticompetitive activity on increasingly vulnerable consumers. Congress needs to do it right and needs to do it now.
