PSC Grants Jackson Purchase Energy Schedule Delay, Case 2026-00033
Summary
The Kentucky Public Service Commission granted Jackson Purchase Energy Corporation's motion to amend the procedural schedule in Case No. 2026-00033. The utility's sole witness, CFO Meredith Kendall, had a previously scheduled obligation outside the United States until April 30, 2026, necessitating the schedule adjustments. The amended deadlines require initial information requests to Jackson Purchase Energy by May 1, 2026, and responses by May 11, 2026. The last day for parties to request a public hearing or submit a request for written-record determination is May 21, 2026.
About this source
The Kentucky Public Service Commission regulates investor-owned utilities and rural electric cooperatives in Kentucky: electricity, natural gas, water, wastewater, and select telephone services. Orders publish as the commission acts on rate cases, complaints, construction certificate applications, and tariff amendments. Around 125 orders a month. Kentucky is a traditionally regulated state (no retail choice), so the PSC's rate-case decisions directly set what customers pay for utility service. Watch this if you advise utility clients in Kentucky, follow Duke Energy Kentucky or Kentucky Power regulatory activity, intervene in rate cases, or track rural electric cooperative regulatory matters.
What changed
The Kentucky Public Service Commission issued an order granting Jackson Purchase Energy Corporation's motion to amend the procedural schedule in Case No. 2026-00033. The amendment extends two deadlines: initial requests for information to Jackson Purchase Energy are now due by May 1, 2026, and Jackson Purchase Energy's responses are now due by May 11, 2026. The order was entered on April 24, 2026.
The primary impact is procedural: parties to this rate case proceeding (Case No. 2026-00033) must adjust their workflow timelines accordingly. Jackson Purchase Energy must ensure responses are filed by May 11. Other parties and intervenors should note the May 21 deadline for requesting a public hearing or requesting the matter be decided on the written record. No substantive regulatory obligations or compliance requirements are created by this scheduling order.
