The CPUC Intervenor Compensation Program

California Public Utilities Code allows certain individuals or groups that participate in proceedings before the California Public Utilities Commission involving electric, gas, water, and telephone utilities to request compensation for the costs associated with that participation.

Compensation is available through a program administered by the CPUC referred to as the Intervenor Compensation Program.

The Intervenor Compensation Program Guide and Instructions on Completing Intervenor Compensation Standardized Forms (Guide) is intended to help you understand the requirements you must meet to be eligible for an award of intervenor compensation. The Guide identifies filings that are needed to be made in order to establish eligibility to ultimately claim compensation, and provides step-by-step instructions on completing these filings. Standardized Forms and Sample Documents are included.
