DIVISION**Rate Regulation DEPARTMENT – Financial Review

About Rate Regulation
The Rate Regulation division is the branch of the PUCT that is most involved in the agency's traditional regulatory rate-setting function. The Rate Regulation division consists of two sections: Financial Review and Tariff and Rate Analysis.

The Financial Review section includes staff members with educational backgrounds primarily in accounting and finance; these staff members evaluate the legitimacy and reasonableness of a utility company's expense levels and develop estimates of an appropriate rate of return on the utility company's capital investment.

The Tariff and Rate Analysis section includes staff members with educational backgrounds primarily in economics and finance; these staff members develop the specific rates that a utility company charges its customers and address issues related to the proper allocation of a utility's costs to different customer groups, such as residential, commercial, and industrial customers.

The Rate Regulation Division also leads and participates in various rulemaking proceedings and works on other projects involving rate-related issues for electric, water, and telephone utility companies.

Looking to take the next step in your career? Ready for a meaningful career in public service? The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) has an opportunity for a motivated professional to help advance the agency’s mission and support critical work for the state of Texas.

The Rate Regulation Division is seeking a Financial Examiner, a position responsible for performing routine to highly complex accounting work, including the review of rate change and other applications filed with the Commission.
