Kentucky Power Signs White House Ratepayer Protection Pledge

Today, Kentucky Power signed the White House Ratepayer Protection Pledge, reaffirming our commitment to Powering Fairness by protecting existing customers while supporting responsible economic growth.

Energy needs are growing rapidly across the country, including in Kentucky. As new large energy users seek to connect to the electric grid, Kentucky Power is committed to ensuring growth is planned responsibly so existing residential and business customers continue to receive safe, reliable and affordable electric service.

What the Pledge Means

The Ratepayer Protection Pledge reinforces principles Kentucky Power already supports through its large load tariff:

• Growth should pay for growth.
• Large energy users should pay for the infrastructure needed to serve them.
• Large customers should make long-term financial commitments for the power they request.
• Existing residential and business customers should be protected from costs associated with serving new large energy users.
• Responsible growth should strengthen communities through investment, workforce development and a more resilient electric grid.

Why It Matters

New investment can create jobs, attract businesses and support economic growth throughout eastern Kentucky. By planning for growth today, Kentucky Power can continue investing in a safe, reliable electric system while protecting the customers who already depend on us every day.
