The California Energy Commission was established in
1974 to address the energy challenges facing the state.
Created by the Warren-Alquist State Energy
Resources Conservation and Development Act
(normally called the Warren-Alquist Act and which was
signed into law by then-Governor Ronald Reagan), the
Commission is the state's principal energy policy and
planning organization. Since 1974, successive
administrations with bipartisan legislative support have
enacted more than 100 separate laws to assist the
Commission in implementing state energy policy.

Our business planning process was developed as part of Vision 2000 to
clearly identify goals, and project and program priorities, allocate staff
accountable to achieve them, measure progress in achieving them with Key
Performance Indicators, and be the vehicle for Commissioners and
Management to plan and adjust the Commission's workload and allocation of
resources. We track our progress in achieving the goals and objectives outlined
here, both as individual divisions and as an agency, and report our progress
to the Commission and to the public at Commission decision-making meetings,
and in our agency's annual report.

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.

Our mission is to
provide public access to information on our proceedings and decisions concerning major
issues affecting Delaware's investor-owned utilities and their customers. We are committed
to keeping the public aware of the Commission's evolving role and processes, and to
provide the public with easy access to information. This is essential as Delaware's utilities
make the transition from monopoly to competitive providers of services. Please browse our
Web site and let us know how we can improve our communication effort. 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. The Commission must render decisions that strengthen and
support the ability of utilities to serve while contributing to the economic development of
the First State.

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.

The Georgia Public Service Commission has exclusive power to decide what are fair and reasonable
rates for services under its jurisdiction. It must balance Georgia citizens' need for reliable services and
reasonable rates with the need for utilities to earn a reasonable return on investment. The Commission
protects consumers' interests while abiding by legal standards in setting rates. All matters scheduled
for public hearing are heard by the Commissioners or in special cases, by an appointed hearing
officer in open session.

In its current role, the IURC no longer
regulates vehicular transportation but does
oversee more than 700 utilities that operate in
Indiana. The IURC does not regulate municipal
sewer utilities.
Indiana statutes allow municipal utilities,
not-for-profit corporations, co-operative
telephone and electric companies to remove
themselves from the Commission's jurisdiction
by ordinance of the local governing body or a
majority vote of the people in the municipality.
As of March 1995, about 324 municipalities
had removed their utilities from the
Commission's jurisdiction.
