Promoting Transparency and Accountability
COPs represents the CPUC’s first comprehensive tracking and reporting of compliance with CPUC Decisions in a way that is systematic, transparent, and consistent across regulated industries. It allows the CPUC to efficiently track and monitor Ordering Paragraph compliance, view aggregate compliance statistics, and allocate resources to ensure effective oversight. COPs provides transparency into the CPUC’s regulatory performance and demonstrates our commitment to holding ourselves and the entities we regulate accountable to the people of California.
