A person, business entity, or public body that is granted the right to participate in a rate case or hearing.
An intervenor is an outside party that, despite not being a named party in a lawsuit, voluntarily enters into the lawsuit because it has a direct interest in the subject matter. A party has the right to intervene as long as it has standing to complain, and shows that it has an interest in the subject of the litigation, that deciding the lawsuit without its presence would hurt its ability to protect its interest, and that its interest is not adequately represented by current parties to the suit. Even if the outside party does not meet all of these requirements, the court can, if it chooses, allow the party to intervene in certain situations.
