Kentucky PSC Approves PPL Acquisition of Louisville Gas and Electric Company and
Kentucky Utilities
The Kentucky PSC has conditionally approved PPL Corp.'s acquisition
of E.ON U.S. LLC, the parent company of Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky
Utilities Company (Case 2010-00204). PPL has committed that, in conjunction with
its acquisition of LG&E and KU, it will use its reasonable best efforts to address
market power concerns of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Department
of Justice, and the Federal Trade Commission through mitigation measures that will
not, among other things, require that LG&E or KU join an RTO. "While the Commission
recognizes that RTO membership raises issues that fall within both state and federal
jurisdictions, a decision by LG&E or KU to rejoin an RTO is subject to our prior
approval pursuant to KRS 278.218," the Commission order states. The order also requires
LG&E to continue to be operated as a combined gas and electric utility due to cost
savings derived from such operation. PPL had said that it did not intend to divest
the gas utility, and the Commission ordered that such a provision be made an explicit
condition of the merger. PPL, which immediately prior to the acquisition only owned
electric distribution companies, formerly owned gas LDCs in the Mid-Atlantic region
prior to selling them several years ago.
