The Owensboro Utility Commission on Thursday voted to terminate an agreement to begin purchasing solar power in late 2022 from Ashwood Solar I, LLC. The move was made after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) handed down a ruling that would result in increased transmission costs that could make the agreement uneconomical.
FERC’s decision follows a request filed by LG&E/KU to eliminate a longstanding FERC requirement that shielded municipal utilities, including OMU, from paying additional transmission charges on energy transmitted to and from the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO).
