The Office of Consumer Counsel (OCC) is an independent Connecticut state agency located in New Britain, Connecticut that was created for the purpose of advocating for all utility ratepayers in Connecticut.〔 § 16-2a, ''available at'' http://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_277.htm#sec_16-2a〕〔''Governmental Information'', , http://www.ctstatelibrary.org/path/governmental-information/3502/0/page?page=0%2C0%2C3 (last visited Apr.10, 2014)〕 Since its establishment in 1975 by Connecticut Public Act 75-486, the OCC has served as an independent voice for Connecticut’s electric, natural gas, water, and telecommunications consumers through advocacy and consumer education.〔''About Us'', (Aug. 20, 2013), http://www.ct.gov/occ/cwp/view.asp?a=1419&q=260490〕 == Scope of work ==
The OCC is authorized by Connecticut General Statutes section 16-2a to participate in any matter involving the interests of public utility consumers through administrative, judicial, or other forums.〔 § 16-2a, ''available at'' http://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_277.htm#sec_16-2a〕 Primarily, OCC advocates before the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) which is an administrative forum regulating the rates and services of Connecticut's public utilities,〔''See'' ''About Us'', , http://www.ct.gov/pura/cwp/view.asp?a=3157&q=404410&puraNav_GID=1702 (last visited Apr. 10, 2014)〕 and before the Connecticut Siting Council (CSC) when its dockets affect electric utility ratepayers.〔''See, e.g.,'' ''Citizens Against Overhead Power Line Constr. v. Conn. Siting Council'', 57 A.3d 765 (2012), ''available at'' http://www.jud.ct.gov/external/supapp/Cases/AROAP/AP139/139AP564.pdf〕 Where appropriate, the OCC appeals administrative decisions of PURA or CSC to court in order to secure a consumer-favorable outcome.〔''Citizens Against Overhead Power Line Constr. v. Conn. Siting Council'', 57 A.3d 765 (2012), ''available at'' http://www.jud.ct.gov/external/supapp/Cases/AROAP/AP139/139AP564.pdf〕 In those forums and others, OCC's consumer-focused positions may align with those of other Connecticut governmental agencies such as the Attorney General’s Office (AG) and/or private non-profit groups such as the Connecticut Industrial Energy Consumers (CIEC) and the AARP.〔''Citizens Against Overhead Power Line Constr. v. Conn. Siting Council'', 57 A.3d 765 (2012), (taking the same side as CSC) ''available at'' http://www.jud.ct.gov/external/supapp/Cases/AROAP/AP139/139AP564.pdf〕
