I lived and moved from **** ******** *** ** ********** **, I contacted LG&E to disconnect my services because I was moving out of state and asked what I need to pay to get my deposit back, I told them to take the June's payment out of the deposit and refund me the rest of my deposit.

LG&E wants to refund me 1.52 which do not make sense to me if I only owe for June. I would like my refund of 118.00 back to me. Their billing is absurd!!!!
Background: *** ******* had service at this premise from 5/25/23 - 7/1/24.
Customer security deposits are credited back toward the final bill when a customer ends service. Customers are billed for what they use so they will be billed until the day the service comes out of their name. After a final reading was obtained on 7/1/24, a final bill was issued. *** ******** security deposit was applied toward the final bill issued on 7/3/24 for a credit balance of -$1.52 due 7/26/24. This bill consists of $121.40 balance from June bill + $142.06 + $3.64 late fee + $142.06 current bill - $260.00 security deposit - $4.98 credit for interest accrued on security deposit while being held.
All billing is accurate. The remaining credit balance will be issued as a refund 30 days from the final bill due date and mailed to the address on file for *** *******.
PSC Regulations and Tariff: LG&E PSC Sheet Number 95
Resolution: LG&E was unable to reach *** ******* by phone to discuss her issue. If *** ******* returns LG&E’s call we will review the billing and security deposit process with her. LG&E will explain that because customers are billed for their actual usage, the bills are issued after the usage occurred. When a customer stops service, there is always a final bill up to the date the service comes out of a customer’s name. LG&E will explain that her bill for $121.40 due 6/28/24 covered usage from 4/30/24 – 5/31/24. Her final bill for the credit balance of -$1.52 covered usage from 5/31/24 – 7/1/24. The $260.00 security deposit being held was applied toward the final bill issued on 7/3/24 for a credit balance of -$1.52 due 7/26/24. This bill consisted of $121.40 balance from June bill + $142.06 + $3.64 late fee + $142.06 final bill - $260.00 security deposit - $4.98 credit for interest accrued on security deposit while being held. LG&E will advise that the amount of credit remaining on the account is accurate and will be issued as refund check 30 days from the final bill due date and mailed to the address on file for *** *******.Initial Complaint

I have a credit of $1,170.00 on my account with Louisville Gas and Electric. Unfortunately, I am in a position because of a medical situation where I need this large credit reimbursed back to me. I was advised by customer service that they would prefer to keep my credit because I had a check returned this past year. I have had service with LG&E for over 35 years at some address or another and even had a second account for a friend that I was paying. My average bill is about $60.00 a month so it will take about 19 months to receive my money back from them. This is totally uncalled for!Business response

LG&E is stating I am denying access to read the meter. My gate is not locked and there are no dogs in the yard. I have contacted them on my multiple occasions which adds up to over 5 hours without the problem being resolved. I have requested to speak to an advisor. Each time I request this I get that they will call me when it is convenient for them. However I am calling when I am available. The one time the advisor called I was at work and they wouldn’t take a callback when I was available. This is a horrible experience. Today when I called the representative told me that she would have my service cut off since I was denying access. I have specifically told them to open the gate. Nothing is new about the situation except it has suddenly become a problem in the last few months.Business response

Please see the details of our investigation of *** ********* issue and the resolution below:
Issue: LG&E is stating I am denying access to read the meter. My gate is not locked and there are no dogs in the yard. I have contacted them on my multiple occasions which adds up to over 5 hours without the problem being resolved. I have requested to speak to an advisor. Each time I request this I get that they will call me when it is convenient for them. However, I am calling when I am available. The one time the advisor called I was at work and they wouldn't take a call back when I was available. This is a horrible experience. Today when I called the representative told me that she would have my service cut off since I was denying access. I have specifically told them to open the gate. Nothing is new about the situation except it has suddenly become a problem in the last few months.
Background: After investigating with our Meter Reading Department, we found that LG&E’s meter reader has not been able to access the meter due to an issue with the gate. Per the meter reader the gate hangs low and drags in the ground so you must lift up and push at the same time in order to open it. This is a safety issue and possibly could lead to further damaging the gate, therefore LG&E’s meter reader has not opened the gate to access the meter for reads. Our meter reading department previously added a note for the meter reader advising to knock on the door going forward to see if they can open the gate for him. Since *** ******* works during the day and no one is home, this option will not work.
*** ********* address is not included in the areas that are receiving our new AMI meters that will wirelessly transmit the monthly readings directly to LG&E. We do have another meter type called an ERT meter that can submit a signal for a short distance that can be picked up by a handheld device by the meter reader remotely, eliminating the need to physically access the meter each month.
LG&E is scheduled to install the new ERT meter on 4/1/24, during *** *********
After speaking with *** ******* to advise she advised that she can be home on 4/1/24 to allow access. *** ******* requested a time window for this. LG&E advised we would check then follow up with her. *** ******* advised it was ok to leave this information in a voice mail if she is not available when we call her back.
On 3/26/24, a voice message was left advising *** ******* that LG&E will be there between 9:00 am – 10:00 am on 4/1/24.
Policy, Regulations and Tariff: LG&E PSC Sheet Number 92
Resolution: On 3/25/24, LG&E spoke with *** ******* regarding her issue. LG&E apologized for the any frustration she may have experienced for long wait times when calling to get the matter resolved. LG&E explained the issue with the gate and why the meter reader has not been reading the meter. LG&E explained that AMI meters are not possible in her area, but an ERT meter could be installed. LG&E explained how the ERT meter works and that it would eliminate the need to physically access the meter each month. *** ******* was receptive to this resolution. LG&E advised that we plan to install the ERT meter on 4/1/24. *** ******* stated that she would be able to be home this day to allow access to do the exchange. *** ******* asked if LG&E could provide a time window for this. LG&E advised they would check with our Meter Reading Department then follow up with her. *** ******* advised it was ok to leave this information in a voice message if she is working and cannot answer when we call.
On 3/26/24, a voice message was left advising *** ******* that LG&E will be there between 9:00 am – 10:00 am on 4/1/24.
*** ******* appreciated LG&E following and working with her to get the issue resolved.

Hello, I have been having issues with LG&E for years. I have researched my neighbors billing with their knowledge my bill is consistently 59-100 higher than everyone else. I have been in my home over 20 years and have had several winterizing initiatives through LG&E. These updates were supposed to assist in lowering my bill including keeping the thermostat on a specific temp. I received February’s bill which was $227, I was unable to pay this bill and received assistance with it and felt the bill was high due to weather fluctuations. 2-10-24 I received a bill for $373 dollars. I am the only one living in my home and am very energy conscious. The balance of the previous bill is 0. I don’t understand or accept that this is an accurate billing. I would like this bill investigated and adjusted. When I’ve spoken to customer service they have always had a response to accommodate the erroneous charges but there is no way one individual could accrue said usage. Please help as this billing is causing stressful financial and emotional issues for me. The charges are higher than my car payment. I look forward to speaking to someone who can resolve this issue. ***** **** ************ **** **** ** *****Business response

*** **** contacted LG&E by email to discuss a high bill issue. LG&E replied by email and went over her account information. LG&E advised to keep in mind that you can't compare usage from one account to another. Homes are different regarding insulation, window and door seals, age and condition of heating and a/c systems. Individuals’ usage can't be compared because everyone's habits are different. Gave an option to contact LG&E by phone to discuss the high bill in more detail. LG&E gave *** **** information on reading her meter to determine if it may have been misread. LG&E also discussed checking appliances to ensure they are working properly and consider having the HVAC serviced to ensure it is operating at its highest efficiency.

Due to an entry error by the meter reader I was charged almost $8000 dollars instead of around $100 for my business gas and electric through auto pay. Instead of trying to resolve the issue I was treated like it was my fault for having autopay and told I would have to jump through several hoops with them and my bank and wait 10 business days for any resolution. I lost income as I had to close my business to wait on hold, drive to the bank, and to LG&E to try and resolve the issue. They cleared out and overdrew my business bank account on the last business day of the year complicating my taxes and other bills and expenses. Treated me horribly, refused to amend the issue in a timely manner, and caused extreme emotional distress.Business response

Background:
*T** ***** ****** ************ ***** has concluded that no adverse health effects have been demonstrated from exposure to low-level radio frequency energy such as that produced by advanced meters.
Radio frequency signals also weaken significantly as the distance between you and the device increases. The casing of an advanced meter and wall construction materials also decrease the level of RF energy in the vicinity.
Please note that advanced meters transmit RF energy only for short periods each day. In fact, an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) analysis of 47,000 advanced meters installed in southern California found that 99.5% of the meters were transmitting for approximately 3 minutes or less daily.
Advanced meters do not collect, store, or transmit personally identifiable customer information – such as names and addresses. All energy usage information is transmitted between advanced meters and your utility through a secure network and is encrypted using U.S. government-approved and recommended standards.
We place the utmost importance on protecting our customers’ safety and security, and we have stringent practices in place to protect the energy usage information of our customers.
*In June 2021, the Kentucky Public Service Commission approved LG&E's request to fully deploy Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).
*The Kentucky Public Service Commission is a three-member administrative body with quasi-legislative and quasi-judicial duties and powers regulating more than 1,100 utilities. It is funded by an assessment paid by all utilities under the Commissions jurisdiction based on a utility's annual gross intrastate revenues. The Commission, created by the Acts of the 1934 General Assembly, the current version of which forms Chapter 278 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS), performs its regulatory functions through issuance of written orders, following adjudicative and rule making procedures outlined in Chapter 278 and administrative regulations promulgated by the Commission in Chapter 807 of the Kentucky Administrative Regulations (KAR).
Currently, the Commission regulates the intrastate rates and services of investor-owned electric, natural gas, telephone, water and sewage utilities, customer-owned electric and telephone cooperatives, water districts and associations, and certain aspects of gas pipelines. The following are some of the areas for which the Commission has regulatory responsibility:
1. Rate increase or reduction.

Starting in December of 2021, *** ***** has sent LG&E dozens of facsimiles expressing his concerns about smart meters. On April 10, 2023, despite the fact we will not be in his area to install smart meters until Q3 2024, we formally opted him out of receiving a smart meter. A letter was mailed to him confirming his decision to opt-out.
Due to customer moves, we typically do not formally opt-out customers until they receive the 4-week notification stating we are going to install the smart meter.Customer response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I will be brief, I did not show up to complain because I was not properly notified to show up to complain. 2. I am still in non-receipt of the insruance company who is insuraning Louisville Gas and Electric for the "fire hazard". Around Louisville, Kentucky, as no insurance company will insure this product. 3. jI am in non-receipt of any of the members of the public service commision's jurisdictional authority- starting with their "oath of office" and going from there.
Sincerely,
***** *****
