Pfeifer, J.,
dissenting.
{¶ 45} I would hold that the Public Utilities Commission (“PUCO”) had the authority to and did enter into a stipulation with Monongahela Power Company (“Mon Power”) to end early the market-development period for certain of Mon Power’s customer classes. The fact that PUCO does not like the deal it entered *582into does not mean it was without authority to enter into it. Still, despite the result, it is refreshing to see PUCO admit that its power has limits.
