Question 13 • American Government/Civics

Which examples would fall under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission in Georgia? Choose four correct answers.

Answer
A
A gas company wants to install a pipeline.
B
A power company seeks to install solar panels.
C
An oil company spills oil into a river.
D
A phone company provides poor service.
E
An electricity company wants to raise rates.
F
A construction company wins a paving job.

Explanation

Georgia’s Public Service Commission regulates investor-owned utilities, including natural gas, electric, and telephone companies. Installing a gas pipeline, installing solar panels as an electric utility, poor telephone service, and a request to raise electricity rates all fall within that regulatory role. An oil spill is an environmental matter, and awarding a paving contract is not utility regulation.
