The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates privately owned electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water, railroad, rail transit and passenger transportation companies, in addition to authorizing video franchises. Our five Governor-appointed Commissioners – as well as our staff – are dedicated to ensuring that consumers have safe, reliable utility service at reasonable rates, protecting against fraud and promoting the health and prosperity of California’s economy.
The CPUC plays a key role in making California a national and international leader on a number of clean energy-related initiatives and policies designed to benefit consumers, the environment, and our nation’s economy. The CPUC is also at the forefront of communications issues and has developed a Consumer Protection Initiative to empower consumers and prevent fraud in the rapidly changing telecommunications industry.
