PUC executive Crystal Jackson says the commission expects recent activity in those areas to increase in coming years.

Jackson says that in addition to educational outreach and regulation, the commission is expected to provide testimony and advice on developing renewable energy and infrastructure, inspect generators, and track and verify customer energy credits.
