Power in Kentucky

We offer an Economic Development Rider to encourage development through reductions in electric rates for major expansions and new investment.

  • To qualify, each new investment must create at least 500 kW of new maximum billing demand over a base level and could receive a temporary demand charge discount of up to 50 percent depending upon the length of the contract.
  • In addition, a supplemental demand discount of up to 5 percent may be available for customers who create and sustain 50 or more new jobs.
  • Creating and sustaining at least 25 new jobs may qualify for a reduced supplemental demand discount.

Business Advantages

It's easy to imagine your business taking flight in Kentucky. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, the state has the second largest percentage of manufacturing workers in the south, and the ninth lowest cost of doing business. The advantages of doing business in Kentucky are boundless.
