Vermont Public Utility Commission

The Vermont Public Utility Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial commission based in Montpelier, Vermont. It is comprised of three members and regulates a variety of public utilities in the state. The commission oversees the rates, quality of service, and financial management of electric, gas, energy efficiency, telecommunications, cable television (terms of service only), water, and large wastewater companies. Additionally, the commission regulates the siting of electric and natural gas infrastructure. The Vermont Public Utility Commission's mission is to ensure the provision of high-quality public utility services at minimum reasonable costs, consistent with the long-term public good of the state. The commission strives to achieve this mission by providing independent, fair, and efficient means of resolving public utility disputes and by guiding the development of state utility policies and rules.
