Public Utilities Commission (PUC)

The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is a government agency responsible for regulating essential services like electricity, water, natural gas, and telecommunications. It ensures these services are delivered safely, reliably, and fairly, setting prices and rules to protect consumers and promote competition. The PUC also oversees improvements and infrastructure investments, monitors service quality, and resolves disputes between providers and customers. Its goal is to balance the needs of consumers, utility companies, and the environment, helping maintain affordable and efficient utility services for the community.
