Department of Public Service

The New York State Department of Public Service (DPS) and the Public Service Commission (PSC) are responsible for regulating New York’s utilities – including electricity, gas, and telecommunications – to ensure fair rates and reliable service. Established under State Public Service Law, the Commission sets rates, oversees utility safety and siting of infrastructure, and promotes competition in energy markets. Ultimately, their mission is to provide New York consumers with affordable, safe, and innovative energy solutions while protecting the environment.

The Department of Public Service uses the Document and Matter Management (DMM) system to manage cases and matters being handled by the New York State Department of Public Service. You can Search the Commission files at the following URL: https://documents.dps.ny.gov/public/common/search.html
