A heat warning is in affect for our service territory today through Thursday. Your AC unit will be working overtime to keep your home cool. Here are some tips from U.S. Department of Energy you can use all summer long:

Block the Sun: Up to 76% of sunlight that falls on standard double-pane windows enters to become heat. Keep blinds, shades, or curtains closed during the day, especially on south- and west-facing windows.

Use Fans Strategically: Fans cool people, not rooms. Turn off ceiling fans when you leave a room to save energy.

Weatherize Your Home: Seal air leaks around windows, doors, and utility gaps using caulk or weather-stripping to keep cool air inside.

Unplug It: Even appliances that are turned off still use small amounts of electricity, known as “phantom loads.” Along with turning off the lights, unplug lamps, TVs, appliances, and anything else you are not actively using.

All Kenergy offices will be closed Friday, July 3rd in observance of Independence Day.

To make a payment while our offices are closed, members can drop payments at our office nightly drop boxes, make payments on our SmartHub mobile app, or by accessing your account 24/7.

Four current board members will retain their seats without an election and one new candidate will be declared the winner without an election.

Susan Blanford in District 4, Larry Elder in District 6, Brent Wigginton in District 9 and Richard Basham representing the industrial members are the only candidates who submitted petitions to have their names placed on the ballot in this year’s election.  Billy Reid, who has represented District 8 since 1992, did not seek re-election and Wayne Mattingly was the only candidate who submitted a petition to have his name placed on the ballot in that district.

Kenergy’s bylaws stipulate that any uncontested candidate will be declared the winner of the board seat without an election. 

Kenergy has established an annual scholarship program to assist in financing the higher education of students whose families are cooperative members. In 2026, the cooperative will award three $1,000 scholarships and twenty-four $500 scholarships. Scholarships can be used for tuition, fees, campus housing, textbooks, computers, school supplies and other costs directly related to the recipient’s education.
