History
The Railroad Commission of Nevada was established in 1907. The Public Service Commission of Nevada was formed in 1911, sharing the same commissioners, personnel, and offices of the Railroad Commission. In 1919, the responsibilities of the two bodies were consolidated under a new Public Service Commission. The commission was renamed as the Public Utilities Commission in 1997, when its duties relating to trucking, taxis, and other transport issues were moved to the newly formed Transportation Services Authority.
Commissioners
The commission is run by three commissioners. As of September 2022, the commissioners are:
Hayley Williamson (Chairman)
C.J. Manthe
Tammy Cordova
Cordova is the newest member of the commission.
According to Utility Dive, the commission has “a full slate of commissioners, and none of them were involved in the contentious net metering debate two years ago.”
