Public Utilities Commission

The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is a government agency responsible for regulating services provided by public utilities, such as electricity, water, gas, and telecommunications. Its main role is to ensure that these services are safe, reliable, and offered at fair prices. The PUC establishes guidelines for rates and service standards, investigates consumer complaints, and promotes competition in the utility market when possible. By doing so, the PUC helps protect consumers' interests and ensures that utility companies operate fairly and effectively.
