Affordable, clean energy for every Minnesota home

Our Mission

Advocating for You

The Citizens Utility Board of Minnesota (CUB) is a nonprofit advocate for our state’s utility consumers. We champion affordable, reliable, safe, and clean home energy 
for all Minnesotans.

Energy Assistance delays: Other options

Energy Assistance is a lifeline to thousands of Minnesotans, but the government shutdown is delaying the release of any funds. We are monitoring the funding delay and will share updates on the status of the program as soon as we have them. In the meantime, there are other programs, protections, and options to help keep your power and heat on this winter.
