Attorney General Jack Conway’s office today issued the following statement after the Public Service Commission (PSC) denied its request to dismiss the LG&E and KU rate cases, allowing a hearing on the matter to proceed in Frankfort.

“We are disappointed in the Public Service Commission’s decision today not to grant our motion to dismiss the LG&E and KU rate increase cases due to the pending sale of their parent company, E.ON.  However, we are pleased that the Commission has provided us the opportunity to further develop the issues we are concerned about during the course of the hearing and renew our request for dismissal at a later point in the proceedings. We will continue our vigorous representation of Kentucky ratepayers throughout this hearing.”
