The Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) is a state-level regulatory body that has a direct impact on the utility bills and services Riceboro residents rely on every day. This page is a general resource to help residents understand what the PSC is and why it matters — it is a state office, separate from City of Riceboro government.
What is the Public Service Commission?
The Georgia PSC is a partisan, state-level elected office made up of five commissioners, each representing one of five statewide districts. Commissioners are elected by Georgia voters and serve staggered terms.
What do they do?
The PSC regulates specific utilities that residents use daily — including electric, natural gas, and telecommunications service. Their goal is to help ensure these services are safe, reliable, and reasonably priced.
How does it affect me?
PSC decisions influence the quality of the utilities you use, how much you pay for those services, and what alternative energy options are available to you as a resident.
Do I have a say in it?
Yes. PSC commissioners are chosen through statewide elections. Residents can register to vote and stay informed about upcoming PSC elections through the resources below.
