NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF
KENTUCKY UTILITIES COMPANY
RECOVERY BY ENVIRONMENTAL SURCHARGE OF KENTUCKY UTILITIES COMPANY’S
2020 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE PLAN
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that in a March 31, 2020 Application, Kentucky Utilities Company (“KU”) is seeking approval by the Kentucky Public Service Commission (“Commission”) in Case No. 2020-00060, pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statute 278.183 of an amended compliance plan (“2020 Plan”). Once approved, KU will begin recovering capital costs associated with new pollution control facilities in the 2020 Plan under KU’s existing Electric Rate Schedule ECR (also known as the Environmental Surcharge tariff) through an increase in the environmental surcharge on customers’ bills beginning in late October 2020.
Federal, state, and local environmental regulations require KU to operate facilities that produce energy from burning coal in an environmentally compliant manner. To do so, KU is seeking Commission approval to construct certain water treatment systems at the Ghent and Trimble County generating stations and to install a wastewater diffuser in the Ohio River and construct a Bottom Ash Transport Water recirculation system at the Ghent generating station. Each construction project is a component of the 2020 Plan.
KU is seeking an order approving the 2020 Plan to recover the costs of these new pollution control facilities through its Environmental Surcharge tariff. These projects are required for KU to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2015 Effluent Limitations Guidelines Rule as amended. The estimated total capital cost of these new pollution control facilities is $252.3 million. Additionally, KU is requesting recovery of operation and maintenance expenses associated with certain projects in the 2020 Plan.
Beginning in late October 2020, the initial bill impact for KU’s Group 1 customers is estimated to be a 0.04% increase with a maximum increase of 2.13% in 2025. Group 1 includes Rate Schedules Residential Service (RS), Residential Time-of-Day Energy Service (RTODE), Residential Time-of-Day Demand Service (RTODD), Volunteer Fire Department Service (VFD), All Electric School (AES), and all Lighting Rates (i.e., LS, RLS, LE, and TE).
RS, RTOD, and VFD customers using 1,139 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $0.05 up to $2.46. AES customers using 19,744 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $0.75 up to $38.88. LS and RLS customers could expect a monthly increase of $0.01 up to $0.33. LE customers using 3,573 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $0.10 up to $5.12. TE customers using 171 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $0.01 up to $0.39.
Beginning in late October 2020, the initial bill impact for KU’s Group 2 customers is estimated to be a 0.06% increase with a maximum increase of 2.98% in 2025. Group 2 includes Rate Schedules General Service (GS), Power Service (PS), Time-of-Day Secondary Service (TODS), Time-of-Day Primary Service (TODP), Retail Transmission Service (RTS), Fluctuating Load Service (FLS), and pilot program Outdoor Sports Lighting Service (OSL).
GS customers using 1,717 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $0.11 up to $5.59. PS-Secondary customers using 33,725 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $1.45 up to $77.01. PS-Primary customers using 58,355 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $2.46 up to $130.68. TODS customers using 208,133 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $5.80 up to $308.49. TODP customers using 1,294,965 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $29.04 up to $1,543.53. RTS customers using 4,908,868 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $94.85 up to $5,041.26. FLS-Transmission customers using 51,873,999 kWh/month could expect a monthly increase of $859.76 up to $45,695.77.
