-( SB 172 )
-AN ACT relating to utility fuel adjustment and declaring an emergency.
-Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:
-Section 1. KRS 278.277 is amended to read as follows:
-(1) In the administration of an electric utility's fuel adjustment clause and any associated tariffs, the
-commission may, upon the request of an electric utility, extend the period for recovery of fue l adjustment
-costs that are typically recoverable in order to reduce volatility for consumers and encourage stability in
-rates.
-(2) In any review by the commission of any fuel adjustment clause, for any contracts entered into on or after July
-1, 2021, the commission shall, in determining the reasonableness of fuel costs in procurement contracts and
-fuel procurement practices, evaluate the reasonableness of fuel costs in contracts and competing bids based on
-the cost of the fuel less any coal severance tax imposed by any jurisdiction.
-(3)[(2)] As used in this section, "fuel adjustment clause" means any clause or provision in any tariff or contract
-by which an electric utility may immediately recover increases in fuel costs subject to later scrutiny or review
-by the commission.
-Section 2. Whereas it is critical that any measure to help control the volatility of electric utility rates be
-enacted as soon as possible to give relief to the ratepayers of the Commonwealth, an emergency is declared to exist,
-and this Act takes effect upon its passage and approval by the Governor or upon its otherwise becoming a law.
-Section 3. This Act may be cited as the Fuel Surcharge Stability Act.
-Signed by Governor February 19, 2026.
