General Info

The Kentucky Association of Electric Cooperatives provides several services for the 24 local, consumer-owned electric distribution utilities in the state, as well as the two generation and transmission cooperatives that produce power for those distribution co-ops. Those services include representation before the Legislature, Congress, and regulatory bodies; safety training; coordination of management training; and public relations support including publication of Kentucky Living magazine. KAEC is governed by a board consisting of one manager and one director from each of its 26 member systems, and is headquartered in Louisville. In addition to providing a host of legislative, communications, and training services to Kentucky's electric cooperatives, KAEC is affiliated with three organizations that serve Kentucky's electric co-ops.
