State and Federal Filings

Advocating for Consumers

The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel (OCC) is the statewide legal representative for Ohio’s residential consumers in matters related to their investor-owned electric, natural gas, telephone, and water services. The agency advocates for consumers in proceedings before the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), the Supreme Court of Ohio, federal regulatory agencies, appellate courts, and the Ohio General Assembly who make decisions about the prices and quality of their utility services. The agency also monitors public utilities’ compliance with regulatory standards for consumer protection. For a complete list of all State and Federal Filings for the year, please see the Case Activity section at the end of each OCC Annual Report.
