Having solar installed for your business

LG&E and KU* offers individual solar facilities for business and industrial customers interested in renewable generation.

We will procure, build, own and operate the individual solar facilities with minimal impact on operations and maintain the solar arrays for the life of the agreement. Each project is subject to approval by the Kentucky Public Service Commission.  We will work with our third-party business partner for our Business Solar program.

Cost effective

There is minimal cost required up front for this program - typically just those costs associated with permitting and feasibility studies. You will then be charged a monthly fee by LG&E and KU for use and maintenance of the solar array. This monthly fee is based on the size of your array. Customers receive bill credits, based on the production of the array, that offset a portion of the monthly fee.

This offering is part of LG&E and KU's Green Tariff.
