The Montana Public Service Commission (PSC) is a small agency within the Montana state government that is dedicated to ensuring affordable, reliable, and sustainable utility services for ratepayers. The PSC regulates the rates and service quality of investor-owned electric, natural gas, water, waste-water, and legacy telecommunication companies, while also overseeing aspects of the transportation industry and ensuring public safety in relation to railroads and pipelines.
The PSC's main objective is to strike a balance between the interests of ratepayers, who are concerned about utility rate increases, and the need for financially sound utilities that can provide reliable service. Through their Consumer Assistance Division, the PSC offers support to customers in understanding utility bills and services, as well as resolving disputes. With elected commissioners representing different geographic districts, the PSC plays a vital role in regulating and overseeing various utility companies to meet the needs of the people of Montana.
