Energy Programs - Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet

Current Projects

The Office of Energy Policy supports many energy activities across the Commonwealth that touch our schools, homes, businesses, communities and government facilities.

Energy Education

Several of Kentucky’s state-supported universities and colleges have developed curricula to support Kentucky’s growing energy industry sector.

Data Analysis and Modeling

The Office of Energy Policy is responsible for maintaining databases that quantify energy and its interaction with the environment and economy in the Commonwealth.

Grant Management Resources

Entities receiving funding from the Office of Energy Policy will have reporting requirements as part of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), Grant Agreement (GA), or Personal Services Contract (PSC).

Power Sector Modernization

In late fall of 2016, in response to a Request for Proposals, the Energy and Environment Cabinet (EEC) submitted an application to participate in the National Governor’s Association Policy Academy on Power Sector Modernization to explore electricity sector trends and analyze the challenges and opportunities presented by a changing energy landscape.

Energy Assurance

The office has responsibility established by the Kentucky Emergency Operations Plan for Emergency Support Function (ESF)12. ESF 12 outlines procedures for coordinating and communicating energy issues during an emergency. The Commonwealth Energy Assurance Plan describes the existing energy systems in the state and their relation to emergency management in Kentucky (external link).
