MOSK, J.
— I concur.
I agree that the findings are inadequate under Public Utilities Code section 1705, for the reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in Toward Utility Rate Normalization v. Public Utilities Com. (1978) 22 Cal.3d 529, 545 [149 Cal.Rptr. 692, 585 P.2d 491] (TURN).
Perhaps some ironic comfort can be found in the fact that the commission has been equally consistent in making inadequate findings for small consumers in the TURN case and for large consumers in the instant case. I am unable to obtain such comfort, however, from majority decisions of this court which are oblivious to the commission’s violation of law when small consumers are involved but perceive the problem clearly when large consumers are affected.
Since I believe in protection of the statutory rights of all ratepayers, large and small, I join in the majority opinion.
Bird, C. J., and Newman, J., concurred.
