## Opinion text

TAYLOR, J.,
with whom WATT, C.J. and WINCHESTER, V.C.J., join, concur in part and dissent in part:
¶ 1 I dissent to the imposition of a twenty year contract term. I understand that the Corporation Commission has discretion on this issue. However, this contract is forced upon PSO due to the requirements of the 1978 federal law. It is not an arms-length contract. In view of all the law, evidence and circumstances of this case, I would hold that setting this contract term at twenty years is an abuse of discretion. A proper exercise of discretion would result in a contract being set at a much shorter term, subject to later review of the Commission.
