Kentucky Utilities Power Economic Growth | Lexington News

Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities just won their 13th “Top Utility” award from Site Selection magazine — a record since 2012 — for driving Kentucky’s economic engine. Last year alone, they fueled 92 major projects worth nearly $5.7 billion and created over 4,500 new jobs. They’re behind 46% of the state’s investment announcements and more than half its total capital inflow — plus 43% of new jobs. Giants like Ford, Apple, and GE Appliances are counting on them, pouring billions into Kentucky with LG&E and KU’s power grid as the backbone. This honor proves utilities aren’t just providers — they’re critical economic partners fueling growth, innovation, and opportunity across the state.
