The Jefferson City News-Tribune reported the commission said the reduction reflects a lower corporate tax rate, which dropped from 35 percent to 21 percent after federal tax cuts enacted by the Trump administration last year.
The PSC opened a case June 6 under a state law giving the commission a one-time authority to adjust electric rates of certain electrical corporations in light of the federal tax adjustments.
