NDC engages in legal intervention with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to advocate for policies and decisions that ensure equitable access to utility services, especially for underserved and marginalized communities. NDC seeks to influence CPUC rulings on issues such as rate structures, service availability, and utility company practices, aiming to protect the interests of low-income consumers and ensure fair treatment.NDC intervenes in CPUC proceedings related to utility rate increases, arguing that such hikes disproportionately affect low-income households.
Currently, our legal team is engaged in an intervention related to a new Rulemaking process that addresses telecommunications service obligations for COLR (Carrier of Last Resort) providers. This effort reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing program delivery and ensuring robust support for the communities we serve.
