## Opinion text

NICHOLS and ROBERTS, Justices,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
We respectfully disagree with the Court’s disposition of the issue discussed in Part I of the opinion. We are persuaded that the Legislature has not authorized the Commission to implement public policy relating to conservation and cogeneration by the method utilized by the Commission in this case. In the absence of such authority, that method should not be condoned by the Court. In all other respects we concur with the opinion of the Court.
