CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Governor Mark Gordon announced on Wednesday, Oct. 1, that Christopher Boswell has been appointed to serve on the Wyoming Public Service Commission (PSC).
According to the Governor’s Office, the PSC is responsible for the regulation of public utilities across the state, including electric, natural gas, water and telecommunications services.
Boswell joins current PSC commissioners Mike Robinson and Chris Petrie on the PSC. His appointment follows the departure of Mary Throne, who served since 2019 and resigned in August.
“Citizens of Wyoming will be grateful Chris Boswell has stepped up to fill this vacancy,” Gordon said in the announcement. “He is an avid public servant with a proven track record of service. I am excited for his perspective and stewardship helping to guide Wyoming’s energy and economic future on the Public Service Commission.”
Boswell formerly served in the Wyoming state legislature as a democrat representing Green River and Rock Springs. During his State House tenure, he was elected House Minority Leader. A long-time resident of Wyoming, Boswell expressed his appreciation to serve on the PSC.
“I appreciate the opportunity to serve on the PSC and look forward to a good deal of listening and learning as the Commission continues to address some mighty complex issues,” Boswell said in a statement. “Whether it be the increasing demand for power, reckoning with consumer costs or grid reliability — the market is ever changing, and the commission has a full plate in the years ahead.”
