We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
All Kenergy offices will be closed Monday, September 1 for Labor Day. We hope you have a great holiday celebrating with family and friends.
As always, you can drop payments at our office nightly drop boxes, make payments on our SmartHub mobile app, or by accessing your account 24/7.
If you or a contractor are planning to work on your home or a project that requires power disconnection, please call to alert Kenergy at least 24 hours in advance. Kenergy will send a representative out to disconnect the meter or service free of cost. Once work is complete and an inspection by a state electrical inspector has been completed, Kenergy will also send a representative to reconnect and re-energize the meter or service free of cost.
Meter tampering is dangerous and illegal. Kenergy is immediately notified when a meter or service has been disconnected. Those caught tampering with Kenergy meters may be prosecuted, and the service will remain disconnected until an inspection has been completed. It is important that you, as a member, understand this law is in place for the safety of you and your home or business. You can read more at lrc.ky.gov with reference to 807 KAR 5:006.
In the event of an emergency, contact Kenergy and a representative will be dispatched to the account at our earliest convenience.

Kenergy and Conexon will host a community broadband discussion on Thursday, July 10, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. The event will take place at Kenergy’s Hanson office located at 2620 Brown Badgett Loop.
The Connect, powered by Kenergy project is working to bring high-speed internet to the electric cooperative’s members. Representatives from Conexon and Kenergy will be available to answer questions, sign members up, and hear more about the project’s progress.
“Today’s broadband needs are what electricity was to the commonwealth in the 1930s,” said Tim Lindahl, Kenergy President and CEO. “By installing infrastructure that is owned by the people it serves, giving all of the benefits back to those people, we can meet a great need for the communities we serve.”
The collaboration between Kenergy and Conexon reflects a shared commitment to bridging the digital divide in rural western Kentucky by providing access to the opportunities and resources that reliable internet makes possible.
“Conexon Connect is eager to connect all Kenergy members with fast, reliable fiber internet,” Leslye Krampe, Conexon Business Development Manager said. “Our team is working as quickly as possible to build the Connect, powered by Kenergy network across the cooperative’s entire service area and we appreciate your patience during the construction process.”

Most jobs do not require you to climb 40 feet in the air and conduct business within a few feet of high voltage power lines that carry 7,200 volts of electricity. However, for many utility workers, this is just another day at the office.
Across the nation there are millions of utility poles that provide the electricity that powers everything in your daily life — including the brewing of your morning cup of coffee and the lighting you turn off before going to bed. The electricity we depend on would not be possible without the utility workers who maintain and repair these utility poles.
It's important to keep utility poles free from all personal materials such as balloons, fliers, and metal objects like staples or tacks.
By respecting utility poles, you can help keep your community powered, and your local utility workers safe.
This practice is not only illegal in many areas, but also creates hazards for the linemen who repair and maintain utility poles and other electrical infrastructure and can increase your monthly utility bill.
Utility workers use specialized climbing devices to perform regular maintenance and repair damaged power lines at the top of utility poles. Nails, tacks, and other metal objects that are used to attach objects to utility poles can interfere with the safe operation of the climbing boots used by utility workers.
Foreign objects that are embedded in utility poles can also snag or damage the protective clothing that keeps line workers safe from electrical shock. These men and women already work in extremely hazardous conditions, so everyone who relies on electricity should take steps to make their job as safe as possible.
Other items that have been found on utility poles include tree stands for hunting.
If you plan on hunting, do not place tree stands or other objects on utility poles. Doing so not only creates a risk for utility workers, but it is also extremely dangerous for yourself or anyone who uses it.
For your own safety, please keep as much distance between yourself and overhead power lines as possible.
For more information on staying safe around power lines, utility poles, and electricity, visit SafeElectricity.org.
