Public Utility Commission
A Public Utility Commission (PUC) is a government agency responsible for regulating essential services such as electricity, water, and natural gas. Its main role is to ensure that these services are provided safely, reliably, and at fair prices to consumers. The PUC also oversees the operations of utility companies, ensuring they comply with laws and regulations.
In addition to setting rates, the PUC handles consumer complaints and promotes energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives. By balancing the interests of consumers and utility providers, the PUC plays a crucial role in maintaining a stable and equitable utility market.
