High court to review rate regulation issue
The Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments on whether the Federal Power Commission can consider potential anticompetitive effects of wholesale rate increases on retail competition. AP&L faces a $2.2 million wholesale increase subject to refund since 1974, with critics arguing it could trigger a price squeeze and push industrial buyers away. The case tests FPC authority under the Federal Power Act and follows a circuit court ruling allowing some consideration of retail rates within a cost framework.
