The Commission's rejection of 50/50 splits is not categorical — an equal split may be appropriate where the evidence shows that both parties' systems impose roughly equal requirements on the interconnection facilities — but the Commission has made clear that the allocation must be driven by the evidence, not by a presumption of equality

It is not sufficient for the protestor to merely criticize the applicant's proposal; the protestor must demonstrate that its alternative allocation is consistent with cost-causation principles and would produce a just and reasonable result
