Kentucky’s I-71 Corridor Has Reliable and Affordable Utilities

Our Power and Gas

Kentucky has long held a competitive advantage in the utility industries from a cost of doing business standpoint. The state has abundant coal reserves to produce affordable electric, sits in the center of the natural gas interstate pipeline system and is blessed with extensive water reserves from rivers, streams and lakes.

The majority of the state’s resources are consumed by industrial sources, who have located here due to reliable service at low cost. Kentucky’s energy advantages have led it to be the ninth highest consumer of energy in the United States.

Oversight of Kentucky’s utilities is conducted by the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC). Additionally, the Kentucky Department of Energy works to assure quality and efficiency of service.


Natural Gas

The majority of Kentucky’s natural gas is delivered via interstate pipeline from the Gulf of Mexico ensuring a competitive cost. A smaller amount is produced in state from the Eastern and Western Coalfield regions. To further ensure reliability of delivery Kentucky has several natural gas storage fields, one of the largest in the United States is located in Western Kentucky.

The average industrial cost of natural gas in Kentucky is 5.16 dollars per thousand cubic feet. This is sixth lowest in the United States. Larger industrial users, however, often negotiate for gas transport service at a substantially lower cost. Natural Gas supply and distribution in the KentuckyConnected region mirrors the rest of Kentucky with supply moving along the Texas Gas and Mid-Valley interstate pipelines and distribution through various local companies.
