The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) created the Women Minority Business Enterprise Clearinghouse (WMBE
Clearinghouse) to implement guidelines designed to encourage, recruit, and utilize Women- and Minority-owned Business Enterprises (WMBEs). All
electric, gas, and telephone utility companies with gross annual revenues in excess of $25,000,000 (and their regulated subsidiaries and
affiliates) are required to participate in the WMBE Clearinghouse, and to develop and implement programs designed to increase the utilization
of WMBEs in their procurement activities. Procurement goals of 5% for women and 15% for minorities were initially established, and later
augmented to include a 1.5% goal for disabled veterans. |
