Commonwealth of MA Notice of Road Show Events

The Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) will be hosting four Road Show events throughout 2024, starting in Boston on March 27, 2024. These Road Show events are an opportunity for the Department to engage directly with the public. Our three Commissioners, who oversee the Department, will give a presentation outlining the work that the Department does and our recent successes. Following the presentation, the Commission will take comments from the public. These events are free and open to all Massachusetts residents.

The Department is an adjudicatory agency that oversees investor-owned electric power, natural gas, and water companies in Massachusetts. In addition, the Department is charged with developing alternatives to traditional regulation, monitoring service quality, regulating safety in the transportation and gas pipeline areas, and overseeing the energy facilities siting process. The Department’s mission is to ensure that consumers’ rights are protected and that utility companies are providing the most reliable service at the lowest possible cost. The Department seeks to promote safety, security, reliability of service, affordability, equity, and greenhouse gas emission reductions. The actions of our agency affect nearly everyone in the Commonwealth, and our decisions will be better when we hear from you.

The first meeting in Boston will be hybrid (in-person and virtual), and the remaining sessions will be in-person only. Please register at the following link if you plan to attend any of these sessions: https://projects.erg.com/conferences/MassDPU/RoadShowEvents/.
