Whenever a utility submits an energy efficiency portfolio (a group of energy efficiency programs), the MO PSC has a process to hear comments and testimony from interested groups and the public.

The PSC requires the full name, address, email, and phone number of residents in order for feedback to be included as testimony. We will not share your personal information with anyone else but will submit your input to the PSC’s website.
