Maine Public Utilities Commission

The Maine Public Utilities Commission is a government agency that regulates the various utilities of the state of Maine. The commission also oversees ferries and water taxis in Casco Bay.

The three full-time commissioners are nominated by the governor, reviewed by the legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Utilities and Energy and confirmed by the full senate, for staggered terms of 6 years. The governor designates one commissioner as chairman. The commissioners make all final commission decisions by public vote or action of the majority. The current chairman is Tom Welch.
