WELCOME TO THE ARKANSAS PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION'S WEBSITE.

The Arkansas Public Service Commission (APSC) is a proactive, solutions oriented agency that maximizes customer value and enhances the economic environment of the state.  This is done by ensuring safe, reliable and reasonably priced utility service; educating consumers to make independent and informed choices; and ensuring the fair and equitable ad valorem assessment and equalization of public utility and carrier property.

The APSC regulates the intrastate rates and services of the public utilities in Arkansas. These utilities provide electricity, natural gas, water, telephone and pipeline safety services.  Through its Tax Division, the APSC also determines ad valorem assessments for property tax purposes on public utilities and carriers, including telecommunications providers, electric, gas and water utilities, pipeline companies, railroads, airlines, barge lines, cable television providers, motor carriers, and bus lines.
