Register now for Kentucky’s Energy Transition: Setting the Right Path
Join us Thursday, February 5 at 12 p.m. ET for a webinar on a new analysis of Kentucky’s electric utility system, which finds that continued reliance on aging, uneconomic coal plants is driving up costs and increasing financial risk for households and businesses across the Commonwealth.
The study, commissioned by Kentucky Resources Council, Metropolitan Housing Coalition, Mountain Association, and Earthjustice, and supported by Kentucky Solar Energy Society and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, evaluates multiple energy pathways through 2050 and identifies strategies that would better meet Kentuckians’ electricity needs at a lower cost and risk to Kentucky ratepayers.
The analysis concludes that transitioning away from aging coal-fired power plants as they become uneconomic — and accelerating investments in renewable energy, battery storage, and efficiency instead of new gas-fueled power plants — could save Kentuckians billions of dollars while maintaining reliable electricity supplies across the state.
The webinar will feature a walkthrough of the report by lead author Maria Roumpani of Current Energy Group, followed by a discussion on what the findings mean for Kentucky’s energy future and electricity affordability.
