Section 37-14-30 Declaration of findings and policy; relationship to 1984 act. The Legislature
of the State of Alabama has investigated the economic, financial and environmental impact
associated with the potential for duplication of electric distribution facilities used for
the furnishing of retail electric service. It has been determined that with respect to retail
electric sales, the benefit normally associated with competition between two or more entities
for customers is outweighed by the tremendous cost burden which must be borne by such customers
associated with the maintenance of two or more duplicate sets of facilities. It is the further
finding of the legislature that the existence of duplicate facilities for the furnishing of
electricity at retail is not in the public interest because of the adverse impact which such
duplication has on environmental and aesthetic values and on safety. It is therefore declared
that the policy of the State of Alabama is to ensure effective,...
