Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

On June 22, 2017, Louisville Gas and Electric Company ("LG&E") and Kentucky Utilities Company ("KU" and, together with LG&E, the "Companies") issued a press release announcing the Kentucky Public Service Commission ("KPSC") orders approving, with certain modifications, the unanimous settlement agreements in the Companies' rate increase proceedings. The settlement agreements were previously announced on April 19, 2017. The rate changes become effective on July 1, 2017.

The KPSC order provides for increases of $56 million and $51 million, respectively, in the annual revenue requirement associated with LG&E and KU base electric rates and $7 million in the annual revenue requirement associated with LG&E base gas rates. The KPSC established an authorized return on equity for base rates and the gas line tracker mechanism of 9.70% for all three rate bases. The order represents increases of approximately 5%, 3% and 2%, respectively, in LG&E and KU base electric and LG&E gas annual revenue requirements.

Consistent with the proposed settlement, the order approved the Companies' requests for Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity ("CPCN") for certain substation automation and approved the Companies' agreement to withdraw their request for a CPCN for full deployment of advanced meters and form a collaborative group to study such project. In addition, a CPCN was issued for the construction of a new gas pipeline in Bullitt County.

The KPSC's order represents reductions of approximately $3 million, $4 million and $1 million, respectively, in LG&E and KU electric and LG&E gas annual revenue requirements from the terms proposed in the settlement (including a reduction of 0.05% in authorized return on equity). The KPSC order also modified the settlement to provide for the increase in the residential monthly basic electric service charge to occur in one step when new rates become effective, rather than occurring over two years.

The order is subject to standard rehearing or appeal rights of the parties, if exercised. The Companies are currently reviewing the KPSC order.

A copy of the Companies' press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

KPSC rules in the LG&E, KU rate review

Ruling allows for investments in safe, reliable service

(LOUISVILLE, Ky.) — The Kentucky Public Service Commission issued its ruling today in the rate review for Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company, upholding the majority of the settlement reached by 18 interested parties to the case.

The ruling gives LG&E and KU the ability to invest in intelligent control equipment that will enhance reliability and enable faster restoration of service. It also will give LG&E the ability to improve natural gas safety and reliability by replacing aging natural gas service steel lines —that run from the street to customers’ homes — with new plastic lines. It also approved a new natural gas line in Bullitt County, Kentucky, to provide additional reliability in that area.

The commission expanded a section of the settlement to allow all Kentucky schools — not just public schools — to participate in a $1.5 million pilot program that provides lower rates to schools that participate in energy efficiency measures. It also disallowed cost recovery of certain employee retirement benefits.

During the settlement discussions, the utilities agreed to withdraw their current plans for full deployment of advanced meters that help customers better manage their energy use and allow the utilities the ability to know when customers’ service is out. LG&E and KU will continue their voluntary advanced meter program and form an AMS collaborative of interested parties from the existing rate review to address issues raised by the parties with respect to LG&E and KU’s proposal.

A KU residential customer using an average of 1,179 kilowatt hours per month will see an increase of $3.85 per month. An LG&E residential electric customer using an average of 957 kWh per month will see a total monthly increase of $6.42. A residential LG&E natural gas customer using an average of 55 Ccf per month will see a total monthly increase of $1.28.

The monthly electric basic service charge for LG&E and KU, included in the increase above, will be $12.25 and will not be staggered over two years, as agreed upon during the settlement. LG&E’s monthly natural gas basic service charge will be $16.35.

"While we are still reviewing the details of the order, the ruling gives us the ability to enhance our reliability and continue providing safe and reliable service to our customers while mostly meeting the needs of the parties to this case," said Kent Blake, LG&E and KU chief financial officer.

The new rates will go into effect July 1.
