EEI Scores TCPA Victory as FCC Declares Demand-Response Calls Essential

Your FCC Update for 06/09/2025 Summarizing 1 Filing from 1 Hot Proceeding

Dear Friends of The Docket Digest,

In a significant win for utilities, the FCC has granted EEI's petition clarifying that demand-response alerts from utilities are officially "closely related" communications under TCPA guidelines.

This decision streamlines utility communication with customers during peak power demands, aiming to prevent blackouts and stabilize the grid. With increased energy loads due to AI growth and smart devices, this ruling supports proactive grid management and consumer cost savings.

But as always, the line between customer convenience and unwanted calls remains delicate.
