Description
PER CURIAM: This case is a Writ of Review of a Report and Order of the Public Service Commission of Utah pursuant to U.C.A., 1953, § 54-7-16. The plaintiff, Garkane Power Association (Garkane), seeks reversal of the order by the defendant, the Public Service Commission (PSC), requiring that Garkane refund money received from wholesale sales of electric power to the defendant, CP National Corporation (CPN), under a contract between Garkane and CPN. We affirm. Garkane is a cooperative association that owns and operates facilities for both generation and transmission of electric power in south-central Utah, primarily Wayne, Garfield, Paiute and Kane Counties. As an electrical cooperative, Garkane receives financing from the Rural Electrification Administration (REA). CPN is a public utility distributing power at retail to Utah consumers in Washington, Iron and Kane Counties, and to Arizona consumers in the town of Fredonia. Fredonia, Arizona, is four miles south of the Kane County, Utah-Arizona border and just seven miles south of CPN's only Kane County consumers in the town of Kanab, Utah. CPN does not have transmission facilities to serve its consumers in Kanab and Fredonia. Garkane does have transmission facilities in that geographical area. Therefore, since 1966, CPN has contracted with Garkane to supply and transmit power at wholesale to Kanab and Fredonia for CPN. CPN is not a member of the Garkane cooperative association and is Garkane's only wholesale customer.
