About CMUA

CMUA was initially formed in 1932 and incorporated in 1933 to protect the interests of California’s consumer-owned utilities before the California Legislature. Following our many legislative successes, CMUA launched a new program in 2010 to increase its advocacy efforts before both administrative and regulatory agencies that may have a significant impact on California’s energy and water utility operations.

Today, CMUA represents its members’ interests on energy and water issues before the California Legislature, the Governor’s Office and the maze of regulatory bodies, such as the California Energy Commission, the California Air Resources Board, the Department of Water Resources, the California Independent System Operator, and the State Water Resources Control Board.

Director’s Message

This year it has been my great pleasure to oversee and direct exciting new changes at CMUA. These changes were intended to implement a two-fold program: 1) Increase the legislative and regulatory presence and effectiveness of CMUA; 2) Add new levels of accountability to ensure CMUA’s actions are allied with its membership and Board. I am happy to report that CMUA has made great strides in both these areas.
