The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Federal Ener gy Regulatory Commission rul ing Monday denying commer cial customer rate adjustments to El Paso Electric Company to • pay for construction of the Ari zona Nuclear Power Project at Palo Verde. Palo Verde’s three generat ing units are scheduled to go into service in 1983, 1984 and 1986 and will be the largest nuc lear generating station in the world. The electric company sought Construction Work In Progress relief under commission guide lines allowing compensation for severe financial distress. Under commission rules, CWIP relief can only be granted with con struction of pollution control facilities, fuel conversion facili ties or if the utility establishes it is in severe financial distress. Under the distress rule, a util ity is permitted to include within its present rate base certain costs of work in progress, permitting it to obtain the necessary cash flow to avoid stringent financial difficulty. On July 1, 1977, the electric company filed a proposed unila teral rate increase with the com mission for service to Rio Grande Electric Cooperative and another wholesale cus tomer. The increase was based on the adjusted operating results of a 1976 test year and the inclusion within the rate base of CWIP ex penditures in the Palo Verde project.

Harding, who has been under investigation by the Tra vis County grand jury, charges in the suit filed in U.S. District Court that Earle initiated the grand jury inquiry in an effort to justify continued funding for the public integrity unit of his office.
