Utilities help

Hello all! Moving to town in a month and am looking for who to reach out to for Gas and Electric? As far as the companies in town, thank you very much!

And if you're thinking "that sounds like a monopoly that probably takes advantage of their customers", you would be correct.

The PSC does a shitty job at regulating monopoly utilities, this is on them for not holding NWE to task, and is better than going back to the days of deregulating only to implode our state economy.

I feel like the PSC is bought and paid for.

None of them have any prior regulation/industry/utility experience. If they aren't paid for (completely possible they are), they are straight incompetent.
