Green Energy:
The power to save. It's in your hands.

KU now offers you an opportunity to contribute to the growth of renewable energy. Add Green Energy payments to your bill, and we will purchase the corresponding "green tags" from renewable energy sources in Kentucky and surrounding states.

By offering you a way to support the operation and development of renewable energy, we are giving you the chance to do your part to help improve the environment. Make the choice to make a difference — for today and tomorrow. The power is in your hands.

Demand Conservation today!

You can help the environment and save energy, too. Whether you choose our traditional switch program, which pays you to help the environment, or our free programmable thermostat option where you have the potential to realize year-round savings, you can Demand Conservation.

Sign up for our Demand Conservation program today. You can reduce energy demand by signing up for a free device that we connect to your central air conditioner, heat pump or electric water heater, or a free programmable thermostat.

Demand Conservation helps reduce peak demand, which enables us to use our power plants more efficiently and delay the addition of new ones.

As a bonus with the switch option, we'll credit your utility bill $5 per month (up to $20 annually) for each of the four summer months (June through September) for each central air conditioning unit.

With the programmable thermostat option, you won't be eligible for the $20 annual credit; however, if used properly, the thermostat offers you the ability to reduce your year-round heating and cooling bill by 10% - 20% each year.

Additional bonuses apply for water heaters. These programs are available only in areas where our radio signal is accessible.

Safety is a core value at KU. It's inherent in every aspect of our business. Our commitment to public awareness is critical and is a top priority of our company. Our focus is not only on the safety of our workforce and our contractors, but it's on the safety of our valued customers.

This High Voltage Safety Demonstration video illustrates professional line tech employees demonstrating the potential real-life dangers associated with electrical power lines.
