The Kentucky Public Service Commission granted Clark Energy Cooperative a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) authorizing the cooperative to bid on and obtain an electric utility franchise for the city of Jeffersonville, Montgomery County, Kentucky. The Commission found a need and demand for electric service exists because Clark Energy is the only utility currently authorized to serve the area under KRS 278.018. Clark Energy must file written notice within 30 days indicating whether it was the successful franchise bidder, and if successful, must file the executed franchise agreement within 30 days.
