AEP and Liberty File New FERC 203 Application for Approval of Kentucky Sale

American Electric Power and Liberty, an indirect subsidiary of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp., today filed a new application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under section 203 of the Federal Power Act seeking approval of the sale of AEP’s Kentucky operations to Liberty. The companies are asking FERC for expedited review of the application as they work to close the transaction by April 26, 2023. In December 2022, FERC denied approval of the sale without prejudice and outlined the additional information about customer protections needed to obtain approval.
