Areas of Focus
We help build stakeholder coalitions that bring local perspective into utility regulatory process. We also work with partners to expand the purpose of state-level utility regulation to include decarbonization and social equity.
Sample work includes:
- NARUC Mini Guide on Local Government PUC Engagement
- Participating in Power: Making Utility Regulation Accessible
Read our latest blogs and resources on engaging public utility commissions.
We explore how high-performance buildings can support the energy grid in ways that advance decarbonization and electrification and enable greater grid flexibility.
We help building owners, tenants, & local government leaders engage their utilities to increase access to building performance data, make smart business decisions, & improve investments to meet property & community needs.

Resource Highlight

Model Utility Data Access Law Access to consumption data from utilities enables building owners to cut utility costs, save money, increase asset value, and reduce carbon emissions. Too often, owners cannot access accurate data, especially when utilities bill tenants directly. Stakeholders in many jurisdictions requested technical advice to craft a legislative framework that builds on existing experience and best practice that supports efficient energy management and data access. The Institute for Market Transformation (IMT) and the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) developed our model law—with input from more than 30 stakeholders—to facilitate more cooperative relationships among utilities, building owners, and customers.
