Locunity/CPUC, CA

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates privately owned electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water, railroad, rail transit, and passenger transportation companies, and authorizes video franchises. Its five Governor-appointed Commissioners and staff work to ensure consumers have safe, reliable utility service at reasonable rates, protect against fraud, and promote the health of California's economy. The CPUC's core values — Accountability, Excellence, Inclusion, Integrity, Open Communication, and Stewardship — guide an agency culture built on transparency, evidence-based decision-making, respect for diverse perspectives, and responsible stewardship of California's human, financial, and natural resources. These values apply to all employees and commissioners as a shared mission, integrated into every aspect of the agency's work to ensure people feel valued, seen, and heard. Through recognized leadership in energy, communications, transportation, and water policy, the CPUC aims to empower Californians through access to safe, clean, and affordable utility services and infrastructure.
