The Kentucky Public Service Commission has authorized Big Rivers Electric Corp. to adjust its wholesale rates in order in order to increase annual revenue by about $26.75 million, or about 6 percent. In orders issued Thursday, the PSC also approved pass-through rate increases for the three electric distribution cooperatives that purchase power from Big Rivers – Jackson Purchase Energy Cooperative, Kenergy Corp. and Meade County Rural Electric Cooperative Corp.
