Public Service Commission

The Missouri Public Service Commission regulates investor-owned electric, natural gas, steam heat, water and sewer companies; provides limited jurisdiction over telecommunications providers in the state; issues authorization to entities providing video programming; and registers Voice-over-Internet Protocol communication providers. Its mission is to ensure Missouri consumers have access to safe, reliable and reasonably priced utility service while allowing those utility companies under its jurisdiction an opportunity to earn a reasonable return on their investment. The Public Service Commission also registers and enforces uniform construction standards for manufacturers, dealers, and installers of manufactured homes and modular units sold in the State of Missouri. The Commission, established in 1913, is comprised of five commissioners who are appointed by the Governor.
