CPUC

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is a government agency that regulates essential services like electricity, natural gas, water, and telecommunications within California. Its role is to ensure these services are reliable, affordable, and safe for consumers while encouraging environmental sustainability and fair practices among providers. The CPUC approves rates, monitors service quality, and enforces rules to protect consumers and promote responsible operations by utility companies. Essentially, it acts as a watchdog to balance the interests of consumers and service providers to maintain a fair and efficient utility system.
