Task Force on Climate Policy

In March 2007, NARUC established the Task Force on Climate Policy. This Task Force was established to carry out the following objectives:
  • Develop an interim set of policy responses as climate issues are addressed in Congress;
  • Review existing NARUC policies and propose updated resolutions for consideration by the Association’s membership;
  • Inform lawmakers of existing State programs and regional differences, and encourage Congress to ensure that ratepayers are not unduly burdened;
  • Establish programmatic and educational content designed to inform the regulatory community about climate policy options and their potential impacts on utility customers and economic regulation;
  • Coordinate NARUC’s involvement with efforts both within and outside the Association, including the National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency and other efforts involving federal agencies, relating to climate issues
The task force is comprised of commissioners and commission staff from across the country. On this page you will be able to keep abreast of the activities of the Task Force including webcasts, policy resolutions and testimony before Congress, and scholarly research commissioned by the Task Force.
