Corporate Utilities Connect Us Directly to the Fossil Fuel Industry Through Our Monthly Energy Bills.
In addition to our grassroots community organizing efforts, we bring expertise and specialized skills to intervene in utility rate case proceedings (see 2 min video below). We analyze and challenge proposals from corporate utilities, which typically aim to raise rates by constructing and expanding fracked gas infrastructure. New York State utility regulators, the Public Service Commission, consists of a seven-member body appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the state senate. This commission convenes proceedings where we can intervene as a party. Sane Energy is a leading grassroots organization in New York State, connecting rate cases to the continued, costly, and harmful development of fossil fuel infrastructure.

Sane Energy Project also intervenes in non-rate-case proceedings at the Public Service Commission, addressing issues such as Energy Efficiency, Thermal Energy Networks, Long-Term Planning for Utilities, and other utility-related matters.
