Joint Intervenors Motion for Leave Granted in LG&E Rate Case
Summary
The Kentucky Public Service Commission granted Joint Intervenors' motion for leave to file delayed Requests for Information in Case No. 2025-00114 involving Louisville Gas and Electric Company. The intervenors—Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Kentucky Solar Energy Society, Mountain Association, and Metropolitan Housing Coalition—stated the requests were filed on time in the companion Kentucky Utilities Company docket but were inadvertently omitted from this LG&E proceeding. No objection was raised by KU or LG&E, and the Commission found no prejudice in granting the late filing.
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 PSC granted Joint Intervenors' unopposed motion for leave to file late Requests for Information in the LG&E rate case. The motion stated that identical RFIs were timely filed in the companion KU docket by the April 10, 2026 deadline but were inadvertently omitted from this proceeding. Both LG&E and KU indicated no objection, and the Commission found no prejudice in allowing the late filing.
For parties in Kentucky utility rate proceedings, this order reinforces that inadvertent procedural omissions in one docket may be cured by reference to filings made in companion dockets, particularly when all parties have been served and no objection is raised. Participants in ongoing or future rate cases before the KY PSC should ensure parallel filings are submitted consistently across all related dockets to avoid the need for leave motions.

COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION In the Matter of:
O R D E R On April 12, 2026, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Kentucky Solar Energy Society, Mountain Association, and Metropolitan Housing Coalition (collectively, Joint Intervenors) filed a motion for leave to file its rehearing requests for information. In support of this motion, Joint Intervenors stated that identical Requests for Information were filed in the docket for Kentucky Utilities Company (KU) by the Commission deadline 1 of April 10, 2026, but inadvertently not filed in this docket for Louisville Gas & Electric Company (LG&E). Joint Intervenors also noted there was no objection from KU and LG&E to this request. Joint Intervenors argued that because all parties were served in the KU docket, there would be no prejudice granting leave for the later filing in this matter. Having considered the record and being otherwise sufficiently advised, the
Commission finds that Joint Intervenors' motion for leave is granted. The Commission
agrees that, because of the identical filing in the KU docket, there would be no prejudice in granting leave for the delayed filing in this docket.
