Citizens Utility Board


  • Misión

    When the Illinois General Assembly created CUB in 1983, it gave the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization a clear mission: to represent the interests of residential utility customers across the state. The statute directs CUB to carry out that mission by intervening in rate making proceedings before the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC), in the courts and before other public bodies and by providing consumers with information and assistance regarding their utility companies. Since its inception in 1984, CUB has been doing just that--working for lower rates and better service from the state's investor-owned electric, gas and telephone companies.

    Since CUB opened its doors, the watchdog has saved Illinois consumers more than $20 billion saved by fighting proposed electricity, natural gas and telephone rate hikes. For every dollar CUB has raised during that time, it has yielded roughly $300 in savings-a dramatic return on investment that represents one more reason why the St. Louis Post-Dispatch praised CUB as the "gold standard" of consumer advocates.
