The Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia’s annual theme is Purpose, Progress and People as it is guiding new approaches to regulation, community engagement, employee culture, and technology. It is a mission-driven, diverse workforce aimed at modernizing everything energy related in the District.

Chair Emile Thompson, along with Commissioners Ted Trabue and Richard Beverly.
