“Rising energy costs in particular are a threat to housing affordability, and the findings of a new report from Current Energy Group, sponsored by MHC and others, make clear that it is time for legislative and regulatory leaders to reassess the path forward. Kentucky’s future is not in doubling down on outdated, coal-fired power or turning to new gas generation, but in a least-cost portfolio of renewables, storage and demand-side resources. There are real housing, economic, environmental and health consequences for low- and fixed-income households because of the policy path enacted by the Kentucky legislature with the passage of Senate Bill 4 in 2023 and Senate Bill 349 in 2024.”
