Section 37-14-1 Legislative declarations, findings, etc. 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. Among its findings are the conclusion 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,...
