What You'll Do

Your advocacy responsibilities for Ohio consumers could include, among other things, research, analysis, policy and technical advice to agency management, technical and persuasive writing, and written and oral presentations for utility consumer advocacy in forums such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), PJM, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), and the Ohio legislature.
