The LG&E and KU Green Energy program is voluntary. By participating, you are taking action to expand the generation capacity of renewable power on the regional electric grid that serves Kentucky.
The Green Energy calculator will help you decide how many “blocks” to purchase per month by calculating the environmental benefit of your purchase in terms of carbon emissions reduced, at any level you choose.
The Green Energy program provides an easy way for you to obtain RECs and their associated benefits, as well as show your support for renewable generators and the industry.
LG&E and KU Green Energy is Green-e Energy certified, and meets the environmental and consumer-protection standards set forth by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions. Learn more at www.green-e.org.
This offering is part of LG&E and KU's Green Tariff.

Residential and small business customers pay $5 per block and large commercial and industrial customers pay $13 per block. Pricing of RECs can fluctuate with market pricing, however below are the annual averages during the 2020 calendar year:
