PSC allows Big Rivers rate increase

Officials say average bill to increase by $15 per month

   The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) today adjusted the revenue and rates of Big Rivers Electric Corp. to reflect the January departure from its system of the Century Aluminum smelter in Sebree.

 The rates for the remaining customers will increase, although not by as much as the utility requested. Customers will not feel the effect of the rate increases until next year.

Big Rivers supplies power to Kenergy and it’s customers.
