Modernizing American Power
PowerLines aims to modernize the utility regulatory system for American energy consumers to lower utility bills and grow the economy.
Together, let’s reshape the energy landscape.
Check out our latest report: Utility Bills Are Rising Q1 2026
200 people oversee over $200 billion in utility spending each year in the U.S.
State public utilities commissions have the power to determine how much you pay for your utility bills, how your utilities invest your money, and the quality of your service.
Our Approach
State public utilities commissions (PUCs) have a crucial role to play in protecting consumers, advancing affordable and reliable energy, and promoting economic development.
PowerLines focuses on three key aspects of modernizing the utility regulatory system: people, policy, and process.
