WELCOME!
The Institute of Public Utilities supports informed, effective, and efficient regulation of the infrastructure-intensive network industries providing vital utility services – electricity, natural gas, water, and telecommunications. We fulfill our mission by providing to the regulatory policy community integrative and interdisciplinary educational programs and applied research on the institutions, theory, and practice of modern economic regulation. IPU is dedicated to regulation in the public interest and uncompromising with respect to the obligations of diligence and integrity in regulatory governance. IPU takes a principled approach to regulation, an empirical approach to regulatory research, and a reasoned approach to structural and regulatory change.
The Institute was established in 1965 and operates within the College of Social Science at Michigan State University, the nations prototype land-grant institution. We are located on MSU’s beautiful East Lansing campus and affiliated with several academic department and research centers. The Institute’s neutral analytical and instructional practice is informed by a broad spectrum of traditional and applied academic disciplines including the economics, political science, law, accounting, finance, and engineering. IPU is an independent nonprofit educational and research unit of the university and is entirely self-supporting; contributions to the University help sustain operations, support research, and keep educational programs affordable.
