Get Involved!
The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) encourages Oregon residents to get involved in our processes to stay informed on utility-related issues and provide input on topics of interest. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PUC is not holding meetings in person, so our processes have changed while we continue to social distance.
Please visit our COVID-19 Updates page for additional information.
