The commission may disallow any costs or rates which are deemed to result from imprudent purchasing practices on the part of the utility. Further, the utility has the burden to prove the rates are just and reasonable and

the Commission may reduce the purchased gas component of the utility’s rates, or the

rates charged by an affiliated company to the extent the amount is deemed to be unjust or unreasonable. 2
