The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) exists because of and operates according to laws made by the Oregon Legislature. These laws provide the framework for the PUC’s regulatory authority and certain programs which we are charged with administering. The PUC’s Administrative Rules further explain or implement the laws. The PUC has the authority to adopt, amend, repeal, or renumber rules.
