Description
STEWART, Justice: The Utah Public Service Commission ("PSC," or "Commission") granted a general rate increase to Utah Power & Light Co. ("UP&L"). The increase was spread over all customers except heads of households over 65 years of age. They were exempted from the increase as to the first block of 400 kwh per month, except for that part of the increase attributable to a fuel increase pass-through. The reduced revenues resulting from the "senior citizen rate" are made up by other residential customers, and not all remaining customers. Mountain States Legal Foundation ("MSLF") challenges the "senior citizen" rate on the ground that it is an unlawful preference under § 54-3-8 Utah Code Ann. (1953), as amended; not supported by adequate findings; and a denial of equal protection of the laws.
