The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin is an independent regulatory agency responsible for regulating public utilities in the energy, telecommunications, gas and water companies located in U.S. state of Wisconsin.[1][2] As of 2010, the agency regulated more than 1,100 electric, natural gas, telephone, water, and water/sewer utilities.
The commission consists of three full-time commissioners that are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Wisconsin State Senate in staggered six-year terms. The commissioners are assisted by a staff of auditors, accountants, engineers, rate analysts, attorneys, planners, research analysts, economists, consumer specialists, and other support personnel. The staff is divided into several divisions: Gas and Energy Division, Telecommunications Division, Division of Water, Compliance, and Consumer Affairs, Division of Administrative Services, and the Office of General Counsel.[2]
Wisconsin's 28 electric cooperatives are not subject to the Public Service Commission.[2]
