Kentucky Coops Strike Deal to Keep Smelter in Western Kentucky

The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) recently approved a power supply arrangement between Big Rivers Electric Corporation (Big Rivers), Kenergy Corp. (Kenergy) and Century Aluminum Company that allows the aluminum smelter to purchase power on the wholesale market through Big Rivers and Kenergy while reimbursing the coops for certain costs arising from the arrangement.  For more on this power purchase arrangement and the Kentucky PSC’s deliberations, see the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer (subscription required).
