In October, electric cooperatives across the country take time to celebrate National Co-op Month and reflect on the unique advantages of being part of a cooperative. It’s also the perfect time to thank you—the members who make it all possible. For us, it’s not just a celebration. It’s a chance to reaffirm the values that guide everything we do.

As President and CEO of Kenergy, I see purpose in action every single day. Unlike investor-owned utilities, our co-op doesn’t exist to make profits for distant shareholders. We exist to serve you—our members, our neighbors and our communities. That purpose is what sets us apart. It’s why we were founded, and it’s what continues to drive every decision we make.

At its core, being a cooperative means we are member-owned and locally controlled. That’s not just a tagline; it’s the very heart of our business model. Members have a voice in how our co-op operates. You elect board members who live right here in our service area and understand the unique challenges and opportunities our communities face. Decisions aren’t made in corporate boardrooms hundreds of miles away; they’re made here at home, by people who care about the same things you do.

This local accountability means we can stay focused on what matters most: delivering reliable, affordable electricity and providing real value to the people we serve.

We do that by investing in essential infrastructure upgrades and technologies that strengthen our local grid and improve electric service. We work hard to manage costs and keep rates as low as possible—because we know how much rising prices affect families and small businesses in our area. And when storms hit or outages occur, Kenergy crews are here and ready to respond quickly, because we live here too.

Co-ops were built to meet community needs, and that purpose extends well beyond delivering electricity. Whether we’re supporting local schools, sponsoring youth programs, partnering with volunteer organizations or helping bring broadband to rural areas, we are always looking for ways to improve the quality of life in the places we serve. Community support isn’t an afterthought—it’s part of our mission.

We’re also planning for the future. As electricity demand grows due to new technologies and economic development, electric co-ops are working to ensure we continue to meet those needs with a balanced, reliable energy mix. We know our members care about affordability and dependability, and we’re committed to delivering both.

That’s the power of the cooperative difference. That’s what it means to be powered by purpose.

Thank you for the trust you place in us. We’re proud to be your local electric cooperative.

A construction contractor will be performing fiber splicing on September 4th starting at 4:30 p.m. that will affect our network. We anticipate the work to last until approximately 11:59 p.m. Members will not be able to access our outage map, outage texts, the SmartHub app to make payments, and pay-by-phone during this time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Pursuant to 807 KAR 5:011, Section 8, Kenergy Corp (“Kenergy”) hereby gives notice that it has requested that the Kentucky Public Service Commission (“Commission”) allow it to adopt a tariff for a pilot program allowing members to enroll certain eligible smart devices (such as, smart thermostats, elective vehicle chargers, smart electric water heaters, and battery energy storage systems) in a demand response program. Device eligibility is based on manufacturer terms and compatibility with Emulate API integration. Enrolled devices would be subject to control by Kenergy within defined limits during high demand or critical demand events. The program would be limited to a total of 150 devices. Participating members would be given a one-time enrollment bill credit and monthly participation bill credits in the following amounts:

Program	Enrollment Incentive	Annual Incentive

Electric Resistance or HP Water Heater	$100.00	$50.00/yr in monthly installments
Battery Energy Storage System	$100.00/kW of controllable capacity	$10.00/yr per kW of controllable capacity

The tariff will be submitted to the Commission no later than September 2, 2025. If approved by the Commission, the new tariff will become effective October 2, 2025. The terms in this notice are proposed by Kenergy, but the Commission may order a revision or terms that differs from the proposed changes contained in this notice. A person may examine Kenergy’s tariff filing, and any related documents, at (a) the Commission’s offices located at 211 Sower Boulevard, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; (b) through the Commission’s website at https://psc.ky.gov; (c) Kenergy’s main office located at 6402 Old Corydon Road, Henderson, KY 42420; and (d) Kenergy’s website. Comments regarding the tariff filing may be submitted to the Commission through its website or by mail to the Public Service Commission, P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, KY 40602. Also at this mailing address, a person may submit to the Commission a timely written request for intervention establishing the grounds for the request including the status and interest of the party. If the Commission does not receive a written request for intervention within thirty (30) days of the date of this publication, the Commission may take final action on the tariff filing.

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.
