Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission (PUC) meeting on March 10th at 6:00 PM to demand lower utility rates. This is an all-hands on deck situation, as proposed rate hikes will seriously impact all of us while RI Energy laughs its way to the bank.

PPL, RI Energy's parent company, made $888 MILLION last year, and the CEO took home $12M. Rhode Islanders are being pushed to the brink by unaffordable rates, while utility company profits reach new highs. We refuse to stand by while our neighbors suffer. It is time for the RI PUC to protect residents and ensure access to these vital services.
