Section 79z-4. Study of public-utility companies; recommendation
The Commission is hereby authorized and directed to make studies
and investigations of public-utility companies, the territories
served or which can be served by public-utility companies, and the
manner in which the same are or can be served, to determine the
sizes, types, and locations of public-utility companies which do or
can operate most economically and efficiently in the public
interest, in the interest of investors and consumers, and in
furtherance of a wider and more economical use of gas and electric
energy; upon the basis of such investigations and studies the
Commission shall make public from time to time its recommendations
as to the type and size of geographically and economically
integrated public-utility systems which, having regard for the
nature and character of the locality served, can best promote and
harmonize the interests of the public, the investor, and the
consumer.
