What is a Public Utilities Commission (PUC)?

A public utilities commission (PUC) 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 California PUC describes itself:

The California Public Utilities Commission regulates privately owned electric, telecommunications, natural gas, water and transportation companies, in addition to household goods movers and rail safety.
