*343ROBERTS, Justice,
concurring.
The PUC is statutorily and constitutionally obliged to set “just and reasonable” rates and may, but is not required to, use cost of reproduction in the rate base. See Keystone Water Co. v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 477 Pa. 594, 615-26, 385 A.2d 946, 957-63 (1978) (Opinion of Roberts, J., in Support of Reversal, joined by Eagen, C. J. & Nix, J.). I join the majority opinion which is in accord with the views expressed in the Opinion in Support of Reversal in Keystone Water, and I agree with the majority that the orders of the Commonwealth Court should be reversed and the orders of the PUC reinstated.
