What is a Public Service Commission (PSC)?

A public service commission (PSC) is generally a regulatory body at the state level responsible for regulating utilities that provide service within a state. The commission is comprised of either state-elected or state-appointed officials. These members regulate all electric, gas, water, cable and telephone retail in many states, and are also generally responsible for ensuring that utilities are responsive to customers' needs and service requests, and that service is both adequate and reliable.

How Arkansas PSC describes itself:

The Arkansas Public Service Commission regulates the intrastate rates and services of the public utilities in Arkansas. These utilities provide electricity, natural gas, water, and telephone services.

The APSC is a pro-active, solutions-oriented agency that maximizes customer value and enhances the economic environment of the state. This is done by ensuring safe, reliable and reasonably-priced utility service; educating consumers to make independent and informed choices; and ensuring the fair and equitable ad valorem assessment and equalization of public utility and carrier property.
