1Opinion of the Court
J. SKELLY WRIGHT, Circuit Judge:
Petitioners in these consolidated cases, two municipal power companies, seek review of an order of the Federal Power Commission accepting for filing tariffs tendered by intervenor, a public utility which sells petitioners electric power at wholesale. Petitioners contend that the tariffs, which implemented a rate increase and changed certain conditions of service, were inconsistent with existing contracts between petitioners and intervenor and therefore should have been rejected by the Commission. We agree and reverse.
