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 the U.S. state of Wisconsin. As of 2021, the agency regulated more than 1,100 electric, natural gas, telephone, water, and water/sewer utilities.
The commission consists of three full-time commissioners who are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Wisconsin State Senate in staggered six-year terms. The current commissioners are Summer Strand, Kristy Nieto, and Marcus Hawkin.
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: the Division of Business Operations and Office Management, the Division of Digital Access, Consumer and Environmental Affairs, the Division of Energy Regulation and Analysis, the Division of Water Utility Regulation and Analysis, and the Office of General Counsel.
In Wisconsin, most activities of the 28 electric cooperatives are not under the jurisdiction of the PSC.
