The New Mexico Public Regulation Commission or PRC is an independent agency created by the New Mexico Constitution. It is charged with regulating "...electric, natural gas, and water utilities, as well as telecommunications and motor carriers, to ensure fair and reasonable rates, and to assure reasonable and adequate services to the public."^[1][2]
