The Kentucky Public Service Commission has selected Concentric Energy Advisors to perform a focused management and operations audit of Big Rivers Electric Corporation (“Big Rivers”).

Big Rivers is a member-owned not-for-profit generation and transmission rural electric cooperative organized pursuant to KRS Chapter 279. Big Rivers is in transition from having a total system load of roughly 1,500 MW, with 850 MW consumed by two aluminum smelters, to a total system load of 650 MW after the departure of the smelters.

Concentric Energy Advisors will review the strategic planning, management, and decision-making of Big Rivers relating to its efforts in mitigating the effects of the loss of the smelter load. The review is due to be completed in the spring of 2015.
