Description
This appeal is taken from a rate-increase order entered by the Public Service Commission of Wyoming (PSC) which was affirmed by the district court. Mountain Fuel Supply Company (Mountain Fuel) complains that the PSC should not have included revenue from an off-system sale of gas in determining revenue for the selected test year; that the PSC should not have adopted an adjusted historic year as a test year, but instead should have adopted a hypothetical projected year as a test year; and that the PSC unlawfully delegated to its staff the determination of a just and reasonable rate. We conclude that there is no error with respect to the inclusion of the off-system sale and the selection of the test year, and we shall affirm the PSC as to those contentions. We cannot discern from the findings of fact by the PSC the rationale for its finding as to a just and reasonable rate. The expert who testified on behalf of the PSC stated in his testimony the rates which are included in the finding by the PSC, but we must reverse and remand that aspect of the case to the PSC for an articulation of its reason for adopting the finding that it entered of a just and reasonable rate. That explanation is essential to any meaningful review of the lawfulness of the rate determination by the PSC.
