Two providers of electricity to local homes and businesses are seeking permission from the state to increase their rates.
East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC), which generates and transmits wholesale electricity to 16 electric co-ops including South Kentucky RECC, filed its application last Thursday with the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC). If approved, SKRECC projects their own rates would increase by about $3.99 or 3.76 percent per month for the average residential member.
With the EKPC filing, SKRECC has also filed an application with the PSC detailing how the adjustment would be passed through its monthly bills to the membership. SKRECC officials note that any additional revenue from this rate increase will go to EKPC, not South Kentucky RECC.
