The PUC does not regulate cooperatives, utility districts, or municipality-owned utilities, except in matters relating to the safety of their operation and facilities. Learn more about utility safety.
The PUC reviews utility filings and designs programs to:
- Ensure safety, reliability, and quality of essential utility services
- Scrutinize utility costs, risks, and performance to ensure just and reasonable rates for customers
- Manage customer and community choices to ensure value for everyone
- Anticipate, inform, and integrate policy, industry, market, and technology changes as the utility sector evolves
