Phone Rate Decision Reviewed by North Carolina Court of Appeals
The North Carolina Utilities Commission must reconsider its 1971 ruling granting Southern Bell $13.3 million of a $23 million rate hike. The Court of Appeals held the commission erred by not accounting for replacement costs of Bell's North Carolina investment, estimated at $444.6 million, before determining fair value rate base. The court did not address whether 7.4 percent return was too low, leaving that issue to be set after correct fair value base is ascertained.
