HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) today announced that its next public meeting - on Thursday, July 16 - will be conducted telephonically.

The PUC public meeting will begin at 10 a.m. on July 16, and members of the public, the media and others can begin accessing the telephone conference call starting at 9:45 a.m. that day. Interested parties can listen to the meeting by calling 1-888-917-8050 , and then entering passcode 9570961# .

The Commission welcomes the public to join the telephonic meeting, stressing that it will follow the Commission’s customary public meeting protocol with only Commissioners and the PUC’s Secretary permitted to speak on agenda items.  A final agenda for the public meeting will be published on the Commission’s website on Wednesday, July 15.

This is the sixth time in recent months that the PUC has conducted a “remote” public meeting, in response to the ongoing public health threat posed by the COVID-19 virus.  The Commission remains focused on continuing operations while also minimizing non-essential personal social contact – consistent with the Governor’s Proclamation of Disaster Emergency and the requirements of the Public Utility Code.

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission balances the needs of consumers and utilities; ensures safe and reliable utility service at reasonable rates; protects the public interest; educates consumers to make independent and informed utility choices; furthers economic development; and fosters new technologies and competitive markets in an environmentally sound manner.
