Friends of LittleSis,

Today we published POWER LINES 102: A GUIDE TO CHALLENGING UTILITY RATE
HIKES [2], the latest resource in our Power Lines series shining a light on
the power wielded by private utility corporations and grassroots campaigns
to challenge that power.

POWER LINES 102: A GUIDE TO CHALLENGING UTILITY RATE HIKES

Across the United States, organized communities have stood up to utility
corporations in rate cases and notched major wins. By intervening to
challenge utility rate hike proposals, organizers have gotten regulators to
reduce rate hikes by as much as 90%, forced utilities to invest in energy
efficiency measures, and restricted utility corporations’ spending on
political influence.

The guide explores how rate cases – the quasi-judicial proceedings to set
rates for publicly regulated utility monopolies – work, discusses the
various players and interests that get involved in rate cases, and
highlights different strategies and tactics that community organizations
can employ to fight rate hikes and reclaim power from these influential
corporations.

As part of the official launch of Power Lines 102, we are hosting a webinar
on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25 AT 6PM ET with LittleSis researchers Aly Shaw and
Rob Galbraith and a panel of advocates who have successfully organized rate
case interventions and challenged utility power. You can register for the
discussion HERE. [4]

Check out Power Lines 102: A Guide to Challenging Utility Rate Hikes today
[3], and our Power Lines microsite [5]! We look forward to seeing you on
October 25.

Onward,

LittleSis
