Protecting California Customers. Hold Corporations Accountable. Saving You Money.
2026 TURN Affordability & Accountability Legislation Package

Thanks to your letters, phone calls, and financial support, along with the dedication of TURN staff and allies, we won the biggest ratepayer affordability package in California history last year—despite ferocious opposition from PG&E, SoCal Edison, and SDG&E! We saved ratepayers billions of dollars by cutting shareholder profits with the passage of SB 254 (Becker, Petrie-Norris). We stopped utility companies from squandering ratepayer money on lobbying and advertising by passing AB 1167 (Berman). TURN also led a broad coalition that succeeded in protecting access to basic telephone service for everyone in the state by defeating the AT&T-sponsored AB 470 (McKinnor). 

TURN knows that last year’s victories are a step in the right direction, but so much more needs to be done to make monthly utility bills affordable for families with children, the elderly, disabled households, manufacturers, farmers, and small businesses. 

Our 2026 bill package is designed to lower rates, improve transparency and accountability, and prioritize residential and business ratepayers—not corporate shareholders. While this bill package is the most ambitious we’ve ever undertaken, we are convinced that every piece of legislation is critical to achieving utility affordability.
