(550 SE2d 413)

Opinion:
Smith, Presiding Judge.
In Ga. Public Svc. Comm. v. Sawnee Elec. Membership Corp., 242 Ga. App. 156 (529 SE2d 186) (2000), this court considered the trial court's order concerning the applicability of the large load exception to the Georgia Territorial Electric Service Act, OCGA § 46-3-1 et seq. We concluded, that the trial court erred in reversing the decision of the Public Service Commission, which had found the exception to be applicable under the particular facts of the case. Our decision was reversed in Sawnee Elec. Membership Corp. v. Ga. Public Svc. Comm., 273 Ga. 702 (544 SE2d 158) (2001). Our decision in this case is therefore vacated, the judgment of the Supreme Court is made the judgment of this court, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Decided May 31, 2001.
