NARUC operates several programs that serve our members by offering education, information, and communications resources on critical issues that State regulators face on a daily basis.
Grants & Research
NARUC's Grants & Research programs receive funding from several Federal agencies, including EPA, DOE, and Homeland Security. These programs provide opportunities for NARUC members to better participate and understand regulatory issues .

NARUC's International Programs are largely funded in cooperation with the USAID. These programs provide information exchanges with energy regulators in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America/Caribbean.

These programs cut across the energy and telecommunications regulatory landscape and are geared to ensuring that consumers are receiving the highest quality of service at fair, just and reasonable prices.
