Overview
The Public Service Commission regulates telecommunications, electric, gas, water and sewer
utilities. The agency is charged with assuring that rates and charges for services are just and
reasonable, that the service rendered is reasonably adequate, and that any facilities constructed
or acquired are required for the convenience and necessity of the public. Additionally, the agency
exercises safety jurisdiction over gas pipelines and has area jurisdiction over all public utilities.
In carrying out its responsibilities, the commission answers complaints, makes investigation
and conducts both formal and informal hearings.
Members
Three Public Service Commissioners are elected, one (1) to be elected from each of the three (3)
Supreme Court districts. Public Service Commissioners are elected to four-year terms and may
be re-elected.
