Description

The issue in this original proceeding is whether the Attorney General, on behalf of state agencies, has the right to intervene in electric utility rate cases before the Public Utility Commission. Central Power & Light Company and Houston Lighting & Power Company petitioned the Public Utility Commission for preferential accounting treatment for costs related to the South Texas Nuclear Project. The Attorney General, representing state agencies as consumers of electricity, sought to intervene in order to oppose the utilities petition. The hearings examiners presiding over these rate cases granted the Attorney Generals motions to intervene. However, General Counsel for the Commission appealed the examiners order to the Commission itself and the Commission issued an order reversing the examiners joint order allowing intervention. The Attorney General has now petitioned this court for a writ of mandamus to compel the Commission to rescind its order striking his intervention. Because we hold that the Public Utility Commission cannot constitutionally deny the Attorney Generals intervention on behalf of consumer state agencies, We grant the writ of mandamus and order the Commission to vacate its order.
