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. |

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. |

phone: (850) 413-6044; fax:
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. |

All matters scheduled for public hearing are heard by the Commissioners

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.
