Energy Principles

Principles - We believe the following principles should shape Kentucky’s energy policies:

Make improving energy efficiency Kentucky’s top energy priority.
Promote the development of clean, renewable energy from solar, wind, hydro and low-impact bio-mass, and increase the share of our overall energy mix that comes from these sources.

Enable all Kentucky residents and businesses to take advantage of energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions.
