RESIDENTIAL UTILITY CONSUMER OFFICE

The Residential Utility Consumer Office (RUCO) was established by the Arizona Legislature in 1983 to represent the interests of residential utility ratepayers in rate-related proceedings involving public service corporations before the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC).

RUCO accomplishes this charge primarily through its staff of financial analysts and attorneys. In addition, RUCO participates in a number of policy matters that also affect the rates paid by and services received by residential ratepayers.
