Statutory organ of the state government of Georgia
The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) is a statutory organ of the state government of Georgia; elected among five commission districts, the board consists of a Chairman, a Vice-chairman, and three Commissioners. PSC regulates telecommunications, transportation, electric and natural gas services in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] Commissioners are elected in partisan elections statewide, though they must reside in a district.[2]
The PSC is charged with protecting the public interest and promoting a healthy business-investment economy. The PSC is responsible for varying degrees of regulation in State telecommunications, gas, and electric companies and for establishing and enforcing the standards for quality of service.[1] Unlike counterparts in other states, the Georgia PSC does not regulate water/sewer or gas providers.
