Smoother bills for Kentucky electric customers
The Kentucky Public Service Commission can let electric companies spread fuel costs over more months. This helps keep your bill from jumping in one cycle. When it reviews fuel contracts signed on or after July 1, 2021, it must judge fuel costs minus any coal severance tax. That review can lower the share of those costs that show up on customer bills. These rules apply to fuel adjustment charges set by regulated utilities.
