Wyoming Public Service Commission

The Wyoming Public Service Commission was created by the Wyoming Legislature in 1915 to oversee public utilities. It has jurisdiction over the certification of utility service areas, adjudication of consumer complaints against utility companies, approval of the securities issued or assumed by utilities, and approval of significant utility operations, including construction projects and corporate reorganization. The Commission consists of three members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate to staggered six-year terms, with no more than two commissioners belonging to the same political party.
