The New York State Consumer Protection Board (CPB) is a strong advocate for consumers on energy and telecommunications issues.
The CPB is the statutory representative of consumers before the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and helps ensure that consumer concerns are heard in rate cases and policy and service reliability matters.

On behalf of consumers, the CPB actively participates in proceedings concerning the availability, pricing and quality of electricity and natural gas service in the State. The CPB submits formal filings commenting on proposals by utilities or regulators. Further, CPB experts testify before the PSC in natural gas and electricity delivery rate proceedings involving major utilities.
