LG&E and KU named a top utility in economic development

International economic development publication Site Selection has once again named LG&E and KU a “Top Utility” for economic development activities in 2025. Among thousands of applicants, only a select few are considered the best in the nation. Each year, LG&E and KU strive to achieve a top ranking and for the 13th time since 2012, the company received the honor.

Site Selection recognizes top utilities based on project investments and job creation in the utilities’ territories during the previous calendar year and calculates the projects’ jobs and capital investment numbers on a cumulative and per-capita basis.

In 2025, the utilities supported 92 economic development projects, helping companies announce nearly $5.7 billion in capital investment and create 4,574 jobs at those facilities.

Projects within LG&E and KU service territories accounted for:

• 46% of total statewide investment announcements
• 52% of all announced investment dollars
• 43% of the jobs created statewide
