CRI replaces manual docket monitoring, rate-sheet excavation, and late-discovered regulatory surprises. We identify material filings, cover voting meetings and workshops, and analyze advice letters, rate changes, and regulatory frameworks.
Members receive updates via email. Additionally, our front page features a live feed of actionable CPUC intelligence with search functionality to find specific proceeding numbers or decision references.
For entities looking to contract with CRI as a vendor for bespoke work or embedded intelligence within your organization, please contact us to discuss retainer pricing.

What regulatory agencies do you track?
Our core area of expertise is the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which generates approximately 50,000 filings annually and is one of the most complex and consequential agencies in the nation.
CPUC rulings are highly technical and carry disproportionately broad impacts. A single CPUC decision can shift billions of dollars, reshape markets, and directly impact operations for the state’s most significant energy players. CRI is purpose-built to extract what matters and explain its implications.
We also provide select coverage of the California Energy Commission, California Independent System Operator, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
What’s the main value I’ll derive from this service?
Time savingsand risk reduction through high-speed, early-warning intelligence. We monitor thousands of filings to identify pivotal decisions, procedural shifts, and regulatory developments that could affect your California operations or investments.
Disintermediation. Legacy consultants charge +/- $300 per hour for regulatory monitoring and reporting. CRI delivers a product of comparable (or superior) quality at a fraction of the cost, with unmatched speed.
Real transparency. Transparency without curation is opacity. Regulatory agencies have vast document feeds and investor-owned utilities have public-facing information whose accessibility is a challenge. CRI aggregates and curates this flood of information on your behalf to facilitate genuine transparency.
What makes CRI different from other regulatory trackers?
Speed, clarity, and discernment. CRI doesn’t just log filings. We decode them using human-in-the-loop workflows.
CRI has been performing sophisticated document analysis for nearly two decades: speed-reading complex filings, exhuming rate schedules from opaque documents, and identifying key details long before AI tools became ubiquitous.
Our human expertise provides an interpretative layer that automated systems still cannot replicate.
How often is CRI updated?
We provide daily updates, Monday - Friday. And while our output is information-dense, it's also very accessible and quickly digestible. Most posts have a three-to-five-minute reading time, on average.
We prioritize materiality over volume (not every filing, only the ones that matter).
Who Reads CRI?
Media companies, law firms, government personnel, developers, commodity traders, investors, and investor-owned utilities/Community Choice Aggregators.
Is CRI for seasoned energy veterans or newcomers?
Both. CRI serves organizations that need sophisticated regulatory intelligence, regardless of their experience level with California's energy landscape. Our analysis is designed for decision-makers who require strategic context about regulatory developments that could affect their operations, investments, or compliance obligations.
Does your content amount to legal or financial advice?
No. CRI provides regulatory intelligence and strategic context, not legal or financial advice.
