The Citizens Utility Board of Minnesota (CUB) is a nonprofit advocate for our state’s utility consumers. We champion affordable, reliable, safe, and clean home energy for all Minnesotans.
CUB aims to be a voice for Minnesotans before utility regulators and the state legislature. We fight for affordable rates and stand up to utility companies and their shareholders. We work for a rapid, cost-effective transition to clean energy that benefits the public – including communities that have long borne the negative impacts of our energy systems.
We are a resource navigator for consumers. Our expert staff advises thousands of Minnesotans every year on their rights, resources, and responsibilities to avoid utility shutoffs or get service reconnected. CUB consultations help people reduce home energy expenses, figure out the best options to electrify their homes, and answer any home energy-related questions. We provide information and resources in partnership with communities and organizations throughout the state.
CUB’s role as a consumer advocate drives us to address historic and persistent inequities in Minnesota’s energy systems. We seek to align power and resources equitably both within our organization and externally in the systems in which we advocate. Read more about CUB’s commitment to equity.

CUB's Advocacy Priorities
Access & Affordability
All people are entitled to affordable energy, fair treatment by their utilities, and access to reliable and safe electricity and heating service. CUB fights for consumer protections and against unfair rate hikes by Minnesota utilities.
Clean Energy
CUB works for a rapid, cost-effective transition to clean energy that benefits the public – including communities that have long borne the negative impacts of our energy systems. We fight to make sure Minnesota’s energy sector will be carbon free by 2050, and that the transition will be affordable for all.
Utility Accountability
CUB stands up to utility companies and their shareholders. Through our advocacy at the Public Utilities Commission and the Legislature, and by speaking directly to the public, we fight for transparency, accountability, and fairness between utilities and Minnesotans.
