Re: LG&E Energy Corp. Merger with PowerGen plc
Dear Ms. Sanders:
The Authority staff has reviewed your letter dated June 5, 2000, in which
LG&E Energy Corp., the parent company of Kentucky Utilities Company, proposes to
merge with PowerGen plc. Since Kentucky Utilities Company will maintain its
independent operating characteristics after the merger, and since it will remain
a direct subsidiary of LG&E Energy Corp., Authority approval of the proposed
transaction is not required. As no transfer of certification is needed, no
Authority action is required.
Thank you for informing the Authority of this matter. Please address any
other questions to Rosie Gregory at (615)741-2904 ext. 156.
Sincerely,
/s/ K. David Waddell
K. David Waddell
