On Friday, June 12^th, Big Rivers Electric and Kenergy made a check presentation to Owensboro Community & Technical College supporting the college’s initiative to provide solar charging in exterior locations on the main campus.

The project investment of $20,000 will provide two solar charging stations, placed in the outdoor mall area on the main campus. Each station is ADA compliant, self-sufficient and will provide charging connectivity for multiple devices. Created much like a picnic table, the station allows for seating for four, a tabletop, and an umbrella. Students will have access to free charging and be able to study and relax between classes while staying on campus and engaging in college-related activities.

All Kenergy offices will be closed Friday, July 3, 2020 in observance of Independence Day. We hope you have a safe and healthy holiday with family.

Families should practice electrical safety year-round. Because May is National Electrical Safety Month, however, it’s a good time to pay special attention to cleaning up electrical hazards around the home.

Here’s how to start:

• Call a licensed electrician to inspect your home’s wiring. Wiring wears out just like everything else in the home, and when it does, it can pose a fire hazard.
• Unplug appliances that you keep near water—like the hairdryer and curling iron on the bathroom sink. Find another outlet where it’s safer to use them. And unplug them when you’re not using them.
• Replace lightbulbs in lamps and overhead fixtures whose wattage does not match the manufacturer’s recommended wattage. If a lightbulb’s wattage is higher than the lamp was designed to handle, it can overtax the lamp’s wiring and cause a fire.
• Unclutter power strips. Just because your power strip has room for eight plugs doesn’t mean the outlet you plug it into can handle that high of a load. High-voltage devices, like hair dryers, toaster ovens and electric irons shouldn’t go into the same power strip.
• Put away extension cords. They are not designed for constant use. Use them only temporarily, like at Christmastime when you need a long cord for your tree, and then pack them up once the holidays are over.

All Kenergy offices will be closed Monday, May 25, 2020 for Memorial Day. We hope you have a safe and healthy holiday with family.
