Description
The right of the State to regulate utility rates springs from the monopolistic character of the business authorized by its franchise. However, the management, operation, and control of the utility are primarily its own business. The purpose of regulation is to protect the public interest and see to it that adequate service is provided at reasonable rates. In return for the franchise, the utility gives up its right to make private rate contracts with its customers, and submits to the regulation of its rates. In exercising regulatory power, the Commission, acting for the State, must be fair both to the producer and to the consumer.
