The Regulatory Commission of Alaska provides regulatory oversight to public utilities in the State of Alaska.
The original Alaska Public Service Commission (APSC) existed from 1960 until 1970. In 1970, the Alaska Legislature established the Alaska Public Utilities Commission (APUC) to replace the APSC. The Alaska Pipeline Commission (APC) was established in 1972, but the first Commissioners were not appointed until 1974. The APC regulated intrastate pipelines until 1981, at which time the APC was merged into and replaced by the APUC.
The Alaska Legislature replaced the APUC with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) in 1999, giving it broad authority to regulate utilities and pipeline carriers throughout the State. The Commission monitors active certificates for public utilities and pipelines; these certificates cover a broad range of activities, from provisional certificates for small village water and wastewater systems to fully regulated telecommunications, electric, and natural gas monopolies [1].
The RCA commissioners are appointed by the Governor of Alaska and confirmed by the Alaska Senate. The incumbent commissioners are:
- Stephen A. McAlpine, 2015-2021
- Rebecca L. Pauli 2016-2022
- Robert M. Pickett, Chair 2008-2020
- Norman Rokeberg 2013-2019
- Jan Wilson 2006-2018 [2]
