Office of the Consumer Advocate
The Office of Consumer Advocate represents the interests of New Hampshire’s residential utility customers – at the Public Utilities Commission and everywhere else those interests are at stake.
The Office of the Consumer Advocate has, by statute, "the power and duty to…appear or intervene in any proceeding…in which the interests of residential utility customers are involved."
We appear as a party in all major proceedings at the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission. We represent the interests of New Hampshire ratepayers regionally and federally as well.
The OCA is hiring! For more information about opportunities to join our dedicated and idealistic team, check out our job opportunities web page.
Gearing up for rate cases and other coming events: We posted the results of our third Request for Proposals (RFP) on June 9. The purpose of these procurements is to assure we have the outside consulting resources we need to advocate on behalf of residential ratepayers in upcoming rate cases and other PUC proceedings. Read all about all three RFPs here (scroll down to the RFPs section).
