CO

  • Colorado Public Utilities Commission

    The purpose of the PUC is to achieve a regulatory environment which provides safe and reliable utility services to all on just and reasonable terms. The Commission strives to assure that the public receives utility services at affordable prices. It also assures that utilities have the opportunity to receive a reasonable return on their investments. This return on investments allows Colorado utilities to obtain the necessary funds to build new facilities or to restore existing ones. The PUC is also responsible for regulating the safety of utility services.

Although our regulatory role is changing, the responsibility of the Commission remains the same -- to assure safe and reliable service to the customers of Delaware's investor- owned utilities at fair and reasonable rates.

FL

  • Florida Public Service Commission

    The Public Service Commission is the regulatory force that tries to maintain a balance between the utilities and the ratepayers in the state of Florida. It's an important balance to maintain. New technology and changes in federal regulatory policies continually create more and more complex issues that the commission must consider and weigh, fully aware at all times that balance must be kept in the regulatory process. Commissioners' decisions involve hundreds of millions of dollars and affect the lives of millions of people. That's why the PSC wants to help ratepayers better understand the functions of the commission and how the consumer can participate in the ratemaking process.
