Our Mission
The Department of Public Service (PSD) is part of Vermont’s Executive Branch of state government. The Department represents the public interest in energy, telecommunications, water, and wastewater utility services.
PSD’s mission is to serve Vermonters by helping ensure utility services are affordable, reliable, safe, and environmentally responsible.

The Department carries out this mission through public advocacy, planning, policy development, and programs that support the effective delivery of utility services.
A key part of PSD’s work is consumer protection.
