State regulators schedule hearings, advance Kentucky Power case

The Kentucky Public Service Commission moved the docket in Case No. 2025-00257 forward with an order entered December 12, 2025 that granted Kentucky Power's motion for an informal conference and set the schedule for additional proceedings. The order scheduled an informal conference for December 15, 2025 with a possible continuation in person on December 17, 2025 if needed. The docket record lists the December 12 order along with supporting filings, responses from joint intervenors, motions, and related exhibits as the case proceeds toward local public meetings and a formal hearing in January.

Regulatory activity in this case matters to Perry County because it frames the timeline for public input and the evidentiary record regulators will use when considering Kentucky Power requests. The filings now on the commission docket will inform the scope of the formal hearing next month and shape issues that can affect residential electric rates and service obligations. Local officials, ratepayers, and small businesses that rely on stable electric service stand to be directly affected by any changes that emerge from the PSC process.

The PSC case page at psc.ky.gov/Case/ViewCaseFilings/2025-00257 contains the scheduling details and the specific documents filed in the matter. That docket is the public record that lists motions and exhibits, and it will be updated as the informal conference and any continued sessions conclude and as the case moves to scheduled public meetings and the January hearing.

Residents interested in following the progression of the case should review filings on the commission website and monitor announcements from county officials about local hearings. Participation and oversight at the local level remain central to how utility regulation affects daily life, from household budgets to community economic planning. The December 12 order is the latest procedural step in a process that will reach a key stage with the formal hearing next month.
