	Public utility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A public utility is a company that maintains the infrastructure for a public service.
		Public utilities often involve natural monopolies, and as a result are often government monopolies, or (if privately owned) treated as specially regulated sectors.
		In poorer developing countries, public utilities are often limited to wealthier parts of major cities, as used to be the case in developed countries in the nineteenth century.

		In the United States, public utilities are most commonly involved in the business of supplying consumers with water, electricity, telephone, natural gas, and other necessary services.
		By its nature a public utility is often a monopoly and as such is not prevented by competing companies from charging exorbitant prices.
		Important utilities that satisfy the vital needs of large populations include water, gas, and electric companies; transportation facilities, such as subways, bus lines, and railroads; and communication facilities, such as telephones and telegraphs.

		A public utility that procures or generates renewable energy shall recover, through the rate-making process, the reasonable costs of complying with the renewable portfolio standard that are consistent with commission approval of procurement plans for a public utility and with the reasonable cost threshold promulgated by the commission.

	Commission Opinion: Enron Corporation; Rel. No. 35-27782 / December 29, 2002
		Electric utility is not predominantly intrastate in character and does not carry on business substantially in a single state and holding company is unable to establish that it is only incidentally a holding company and that it derives no material part of its income from an electric utility subsidiary.
		However, when a public utility engages in a large amount of out-of-state activity, there is the potential for the utility to escape effective regulation even if a state regulator controls the utility's in-state activity.
		While we typically have evaluated the percentage of an applicant's utility plant that is located out-of-state, we have in the past also evaluated ownership of out-of-state generation capacity as one of the quantifiable factors we use in order to compare a company's out-of state presence with its in-state presence.

	NMU (04/14/2005): Names, addresses private on public utility complaints (Site not responding. Last check: )
		April 14, 2005 -- There is no public interest in the names and addresses of residential customers who file complaints about public utilities with a state regulatory agency, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled Monday.
		The high court rejected the Public Utility Commission's claim that business names and addresses are also private, but found the public's interest in the residential information "virtually nonexistent," outweighed by the residential customers' privacy interest in "not being disturbed at home."
		Lamy showed the court that complaints from Bedford had accounted for 29 percent of the complaints filed with the Public Utilities Commission district serving the town, a percentage greatly disproportionate to the town's population.

	Google as a Public Utility? No Results in This Search for Monopoly - TechKnowledge Newsletter
		Proposals to turn Google into a public utility assume that it is a “natural monopoly” or an “essential facility” that acts as a bottleneck to consumer choice and competition.
		The purported benefits of public utility regulation is that it brings down the cost of what many consider an essential good and helps ensure that deployment to most members of a given community.
		Public utility regulation rarely delivers the goods faster than markets, and in this case, the universal service rationale behind regulation has been satisfied by a vigorously competitive marketplace.
