Kentucky Power worked with the Kentucky General Assembly to pass Senate Bill 192, which allows utilities in certain circumstances to utilize a financial mechanism known as securitization to recover costs associated with the retirement of power plants and severe weather events. While we won't know how much securitization saves customers until executed, it can minimize the rate impact for our customers and help shift financial burdens for the company.
