PSC Examining Kentucky Power Outages
KENTUCKY....
During their meeting Friday, the Pike County Fiscal Court passed a motion authorizing an attorney to prepare a lawsuit aimed at Kentucky Power. Pike County Judge Executive Wayne T. Rutherford says a lot of outages during the December snow storm were due to negligence from the company, by failing to clear rights of way. Kentucky Power officials say that is not the case. The State Public Service Commission says inspectors will examine Kentucky Power’s facilities and infrastructure and file their report. The commission will then examine any issues and decide if action should be taken.
