PUC (Public Utilities Commission)

The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is a government agency responsible for regulating essential services like electricity, water, natural gas, and telecommunications. Its role is to ensure these services are delivered safely, reliably, and at fair prices, while also encouraging efficient operation and infrastructure investments. The PUC reviews and approves rates, enforces service quality standards, and addresses consumer complaints. It balances the needs of utility companies with the interests of consumers and the public, helping to create a fair, transparent, and sustainable utility system.
