Welcome to the web site of the S.C. Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS). The ORS is a state agency whose mission is to represent the public interest in utility regulation for the major utility industries -- electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water/wastewater, and transportation and railroad safety.

In fulfilling our mission, we strive to balance the concerns of the using and consuming public, the financial integrity of public utilities, and the economic development of South Carolina.

This web site offers a comprehensive guide to our agency. You can access information on our role in the regulatory arena, our staff and their qualifications, each type of utility that we oversee, and much more. There is also a section of this site devoted entirely to consumer services. In this section, you will find useful consumer tips, links to consumer-friendly information, and information on how to resolve a complaint or inquiry with a utility.

As you browse, we hope that you find this site to be informative and user-friendly. Please contact us if you have suggestions for making our web site more valuable to you.

Thank you for visiting the S.C. Office of Regulatory Staff.
