PSC Delays Kentucky Power Request
KENTUCKY....
In response to a nearly 35% requested rate increase for Kentucky Power, the Kentucky Public Service Commission has delayed its decision. During a review of the application, the PSC discovered an investigation into the request is necessary to determine whether it is reasonable. Several individuals and industrial users, as well as businesses, such as Wal-Mart Stores East, Inc. and Sam’s East, Inc., Mountain Water District and Ashland-based Kentucky Electric Steel, have filed requesting to be named intervenors in the case. The PSC plans to hold public hearings in Eastern Kentucky at a future date, not yet set. The PSC will accept public comments until the date of the hearing, but intervenors must be approved by the PSC, and, once approved, must have all filings in by early April.
