Re: Louisville Gas and Electric Company.Petition Requesting Confidential Treatment received 4/1/16PSC Reference: Admin Case # 387 (Post Case)

Dear Ms. Veeneman:

Pursuant to 807 KAR 5:001, Section 13(3), Louisville Gas and Electric Company("LG&E") by Petition received April 1, 2016, requested confidential treatment of certaininformation filed with the Commission outside of a formal proceeding. 807 KAR 5:001,Section 13(3)(c), provides that the Commission's "executive director, as officialcustodian of the commission's records, shall determine if the material is within anexclusion established in KRS 61.878 and the time period for which the material shouldbe considered as confidential and shall advise the requestor of his or her determinationby letter." This letter constitutes my determination of your request.

The information you request the Commission treat as confidential is identified as beingcontained in LG&E's supplement to its Annual Report filed pursuant to CommissionOrder dated October 7, 2005 in Administrative Case No. 387. The information is moreparticularly described as Item 11, involving scheduled outages or retirements ofgenerating capacity: and Item 14, regarding transmission capacity additions.

Your justification for having the Public Service Commission handle this material asconfidential is that the public disclosure of the information could result in an unfaircommercial advantage to competitors, and could present a reasonable likelihood ofthreatening public safety.

Based on a review of the information and pursuant to KRS 61.878(1 )(c)(1), KRS61.878(1 )(m), and 807 KAR 5:001, Section 13, it has been determined that theInformation requested to be held confidential if publicly disclosed could present an unfair

The procedure forusage of confidential materials during formal proceedings may be found at Section13(9) of 807 KAR 5:001.

If the infomiation becomes publicly available or no longer warrants confidentialtreatment, Louisville Gas and Electric Company ("LG&E") is required by Section13(10)(b) of 807 KAR 5:001 to inform the Commission so that the information may beplaced in the public record.
