Florida Public Service CommissionGovernment

The Florida Public Service Commission is a state regulatory agency in Florida responsible for overseeing investor-owned electric, natural gas, water, and wastewater utilities. It is mandated to ensure that Florida consumers receive reliable utility services at fair and reasonable rates while balancing utility viability. Originally created by the Florida Legislature in 1887 as the Florida Railroad Commission, it was renamed in 1965 to reflect its expanded authority over modern public utilities.
