Utility Consumer Action Group v. Public Service Commission

CROCKETT, Justice:

Plaintiffs appeal from an order of the Public Service Commission dated December 2, 1976, wherein the Commission granted Utah Power & Light Company authority to allocate a revenue increase of $27,260,445 by imposing a uniform 17 percent increase in rates on all classes of its customers.

Plaintiffs contend that the order should be reversed for the reasons that: (1) they were denied due process; (2) the order was not supported by substantial evidence; and (3) that it unlawfully granted preferential rate treatment to a particular class of Utah Power & Light Company customers.
