Public Utilities Commission

Consumer Assistance

The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is available to assist consumers. If you have a question about or are experiencing a problem with a PUC regulated industry, staff is available to talk to you and offer assistance between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Please call the PUC Consumer Line at 303-894-2070 or 1-800-456-0858, if calling outside the Denver metro area, but within Colorado.

Each year, PUC staff helps thousands of consumers, assisting them with answers to questions and, when necessary, serving as a mediator in resolving problems with utilities and other regulated companies. Consumer Assistance staff are highly trained and understand public utility regulation.
