1Opinion of the CourtJustice Yollack
This case is an appeal by the Public Service Company of Colorado (Public Service)1 from an Order of the Denver District Court.2 The district court determined that the Public Utilities Commission (PUC or Commission) engaged in unlawful retroactive ratemaking by awarding a bonus to Public Service after Public Service successfully pursued litigation against a natural gas supplier to recover excessive charges for natural gas. The district court also held that the granting of the bonus to Public Service was unjust and unreasonable. We affirm the decision of the district court.
