About Infrastructure
The Infrastructure Division works to ensure that customers have electricity, water and sewer, and certain telecom services are readily available by addressing the ability of utilities and their infrastructure to meet customers’ need for adequate and continuous service. The division has three sections: Engineering, Infrastructure Analysis, and Mapping.

The Engineering Section reviews and recommends routes for new electric transmission lines, electric utility requests to build new generating facilities, and requests for electric utility sales, transfers, and mergers. The section analyzes utilities’ cost of facilities, equipment, and supplies, the rate to allocate costs over their useful life, expenses to operate and maintain facilities, and funds set aside for emergency events. The section also addresses electric reliability and service quality issues and complaints about the cost of obtaining utility service.

The Infrastructure Analysis Section addresses the need for water and electric utility service area changes as well as water utility purchases. In addition, the section addresses distressed water utilities, including the capital costs and operations and maintenance expenses incurred by temporary managers of those utilities; electric utility fuel and purchased power costs; electric utility energy efficiency programs designed to reduce customer energy use; electric utility advanced metering systems; and telephone area codes and other numbering resource issues.

The Mapping Section uses geographic information system software to maintain boundary maps for water, sewer, and electric service areas; review water and sewer maps in applications that add or amend service area boundaries; respond to public and staff requests for electric and water data and maps; and maintain the state’s electricity supply chain map.
