What is the WV Utility Impact Project?
WVUIP is a citizen-led public testimony project that collects surveys, testimonies, utility bills, shutoff notices, service complaints, and community stories from all 55 West Virginia counties in response to the never-ending utility rate increases impacting all of our families.
Our people are suffering. What is happening within our state is an emergency, and we are treating it as such
Our focuses are on pressuring utility companies to change, and for our elected officials to advocate and bring funds to their constituents suffering from the high costs of living, and the terrible utility qualities provided to them. These issues need to be priortized and fixed. When our officials don't listen, we take it into our own hands to hold them accountable.
