 Kentucky’s Energy Consumption and Energy Efficiency Potential Overview

An Overview of Kentucky’s Energy Consumption and Energy Efficiency Potential. This report analyzes energy consumption in Kentucky’s residential, commercial and industrial sectors and estimates the environmental and economic impacts that energy efficiency could have in future energy demand. Published with support from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), the study identified opportunities for increasing efficiency in all three sectors, which could save Kentucky more than $6.8 billion over the next 10 years – the equivalent of 300,000 households’ energy use each year.
