State Resources

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC)

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission regulates the many essential utility services that Commonwealth residents and businesses rely on every day. The PUC works to ensure safe and reliable electric, natural gas, pipeline, motor carrier, rail, telecommunications, water and wastewater service at reasonable rates.

For utility customers with complaints or questions about terminations or payment arrangements, call your utility first to try to resolve the issue. If you cannot reach a resolution, file a complaint with the PUC online or by phone.

The Pennsylvania PUC also offers an official shopping website for electric service called PA Power Switch.  Visit https://www.papowerswitch.com/ to compare local electricity providers in your area.
