PUBLIC COMMENTS NEEDED:

There are current cases with both

LG&E-KU and Kentucky Power

LGE and KU have an enormous case before the PSC that will drastically impact our energy future. Kentuckians know that we need to be moving away from fossil fuels, investing in energy efficiency programs that help the folks who need it most, and keep energy prices affordable for all of us.
​As we move into the final phase of the LG&E-KU case, let's make sure that the last people the PSC hears from are us!

The formal hearing with the utilities' expert witnesses and the expert witnesses from the intervening parties has wrapped up and now the commissioners will weigh the evidence and make a ruling. But it's not too late for us to respond to the "evidence" presented in the case. 
Kentucky Power has two cases before the Public Service Commission. A rate case and an Integrated Resource Plan. 
What we know so far:
  • Kentucky Power is asking for an 18% rate increase
  • KPC already has the highest rates in the state
  • ​KPC customers have some of the least reliable electric service in the area. 
  • KPC buys some of it's electric from the regional market which makes customers vulnerable to high prices-- It also means that investments in energy efficiency would go even further than with a utility company that owns all of it's own generation

Comments in the rate case will be due in November and in the Integrated Resource Plan case in January.
