OPINION OF THE COURT
Chief Judge Wachtler.
In this contract action plaintiff, Allied Chemical, alleges that defendant, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NIMO), has not fully paid for electricity it agreed to purchase from plaintiff. The dispositive issue in this dispute, however, unlike Staatsburg Water Co. v Staatsburg Fire Dist. (72 NY2d 147 [decided today]), was fully, fairly and conclusively litigated by these parties, at their request, in a quasi-judicial proceeding before the Public Service Commission (PSC), thereby precluding relitigation of the issue in this action.
