Providing organization

VERMONT PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION

The Public Utility Commission is a three-member, quasi-judicial Vermont government commission that supervises the rates, quality of service, and overall financial management of the state's utilities: electric, natural gas, telecommunications, and private water companies. It also reviews environmental and economic impacts of proposed energy purchases or facility building, and other utility matters, and oversees the statewide Energy Efficiency Utility programs.
