RICHMOND — The State Corporation Commission (SCC) will hold a public hearing on April 24, 2012, on a request by Kentucky Utilities Company for an increase in its fuel rate.

It will be held in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, in downtown Richmond.
