Small Business Utility Advocates (SBUA) is a nonprofit organization that represents, protects, and promotes the interests of small business utility customers. Energy, water, and other utilities have a direct impact upon the success of small businesses. Yet, small business owners are either unrepresented or underrepresented before the California Public Utility Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the courts, and other public bodies across the nation....
Utilities should help small businesses (1) understand and manage utility bills and costs, and (2) engage in new contracting opportunities with utilities.
Utility costs often disproportionately impact small businesses. These costs must be equitable.
Small businesses benefit from promoting an energy future that is sustainable, efficient, and priced fairly.
