Kentucky Electric Cooperatives

The Kentucky Electric Cooperatives are committed to improving the quality of life in Kentucky. Our member electric cooperatives provide a high level of electrical service at the lowest possible price through a local, consumer-owned form of business. Kentucky’s electric cooperatives serve more than 1.8 million people in 117 of Kentucky’s 120 counties. In addition to providing a host of legislative, communications, and training services to Kentucky’s electric cooperatives, Kentucky Electric Cooperatives is affiliated with several organizations that serve Kentucky’s electric co-ops.

Chris Perry

CEO & President

Kentucky recently experienced its longest stretch of extreme winter temperatures in years. As energy demand increased, fuel prices also surged, creating challenges for electric co-op members.

We’re grateful for the leadership of the Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative Caucus
whose ...support was crucial for the passage of the Fuel Surcharge Stability Act. This
important legislation allows electric co-ops to spread fuel adjustment charges over several
months rather than placing the full impact on a single bill. This practical approach helps
co-op members better manage their energy costs.

Join us in thanking your legislator for supporting affordable
energy! https://voicesforcooperativepower.com/kyfueladjustment/

The Kentucky Electric Cooperatives Transformer Banking Trainer is a hands-on, ...three-phase training simulator designed to provide line workers with a safe and realistic environment to build, configure and troubleshoot transformer banks.
