We will be holding a rally/press conference  to hold utilities, especially Investor Owned Utilities (IOU's) accountable for their actions, including,

  • High Utility Rates(Peoples Gas $300 million rate hike approved in 2023, ComEds $1.1 Billion proposed rate hike)
  • Cost overruns for poorly managed infrastructure projects(Peoples Gas Pipeline replacement project).
  • Lobbying reform to prevent utilities from charging rate payers to pay for their lobbying activities.
  • Utilities blocking the transition to clean energy.
