Who We Are

The Wyoming Office of Consumer Advocate is an independent division within the Wyoming Public Service Commission created by an Act of the Wyoming Legislature in March 2003. The OCA is charged with representing the interests of Wyoming citizens and all classes of utility customers in matters involving public utilities. The statutory language creating the OCA can be found in the Wyoming Statutes at W.S. §37-2-401 through 404.

The Administrator is appointed by and reports to the Governor. The OCA’s other six employees are hired by and report to the OCA’s Administrator. The technical experience of the staff includes legal, economic, and accounting expertise, which provides the necessary skills to write and communicate expert testimony to the Wyoming Public Service Commission regarding utility proceedings.
