We are one of the few consumer organizations advocating for fair utility rates at both the federal and state levels. During the first half of 2012, 50-plus consumers saved $441 million on their utility bills. These savings resulted from rate case and legislative victories across the country as part of the campaign. For example, AARP members and staff in Iowa fought back legislation that would have allowed a utility to charge consumers up front for the cost of building a nuclear power plant. Other efforts are under way in 30 more states. Our goal: to ensure utility companies receive only what is fair and reasonable — not a dime more.
