Highlight

Appellate review of Commission findings of fact is limited to whether a reasoning mind reasonably could have determined that the factual conclusions reached were proven by the weight of the evidence from the entire record.
Customer preference is a proper consideration for the Commission in deciding whether a certificate of public convenience and necessity should be issued.
Which electric supplier's facilities are actually duplicative or wasteful is a question of fact for the Commission.
