What is a Public Utility Commission (PUC)?

A public utility 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 Oregon PUC describes itself:

The Oregon Public Utility Commission regulates utility industries to ensure that customers receive safe, reliable services at reasonable rates.
