ASHLAND Kentucky Power will offer new energy efficiency programs to help lower electric usage and bills, according to a press release.
Kentucky Power will files its Demand-Side Management (DSM) proposal with the Kentucky Public Service Commission on May 1, stated the release.
The proposal includes a home energy improvement and commercial energy solutions programs, both of which would provide energy audits performed by professional contractors for qualified residential and commercial customers to identify cost-saving opportunities. They will also offer incentives for upgrading to more energy-efficient products.
The proposal also includes the expansion of the Targeted Energy Efficiency (TEE) program through supplemental funding from the Department of Energy’s Weatherization Readiness Fund, according to release. It would help address health, safety or structural issues in a home that would otherwise prevent participation in the Weatherization Assistance Program and the TEE program.
If approved, the impact on the monthly bill of a residential customer using an average of 1,140 kWh per month would be 56 cents.
