We granted a petition for writ of certiorari to the Court of Appeals in Georgia Public Svc. Comm. v. Sawnee Elec. Membership Corp., 242 Ga. App. 156 529 SE2d 186 2000, to examine the application of OCGA § 46-3-8 a, the large-load customer choice exception to the Georgia Territorial Electric Service Act, OCGA § 46-3-1 et seq. “territorial act”. We inquired as follows:

Did the Court of Appeals err when it found that the Georgia Territorial Electrical Service Act’s large-load exception applies to an individually-metered apartment complex where the complex’s owner installed separate meters that are combined under a master or pass-through meter See OCGA § 46-3-8 a; City of Norcross v. Georgia Power Co., 197 Ga. App. 891 399 SE2d 725 1990.
