278.027 Application for certificate -- Publishing notice of hearing.
When application required by KRS 278.020 is made to the commission for a certificate
that public convenience and necessity require the construction of a new electric
transmission line of four hundred (400) kilovolts or more, during the thirty (30) days
immediately preceding the public hearing on such application provided for in KRS
278.020(1), the commission shall, on at least four (4) days, publish notice of such hearing
in a newspaper or newspapers of general circulation in the counties and municipalities
within which such transmission facility is proposed to be located in whole or in part. The
commission shall not issue such a certificate for a new electric transmission line of four
hundred (400) kilovolts or more unless the commission shall first determine that the
proposed route of the line will reasonably minimize adverse impact on the scenic and
environmental assets of the general area concerned, consistent with engineering and other
technical and economic factors appropriate for consideration in determining the route of
the line. At the said public hearing provided for in KRS 278.020(1), all persons residing
on or owning property affected by the proposed transmission facility may be heard.
