In less than a week, the Kentucky Public Service Commission must rule on the sale of Kentucky Power to Liberty Utilities for $2.8 billion. But the PSC currently only has one commissioner. Despite not having a quorum, Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday the sole commissioner can rule on the sale.
“When you look at that statute, it talks about what is a quorum, but that a vacancy will not prevent the PSC from taking action,” Beshear said. “In the past, there was a situation where for a short period of time, there was only one commissioner, and that commissioner acted and it was never challenged.”
