Kentuckians have made it clear that we want an energy future that supports jobs, health, equity and climate – and we have great ideas for how to bring that about. The Empower Kentucky Summit will be largest gathering ever of a diverse set of Kentuckians figuring out what it will take to bring about Kentucky’s Bright Energy Future.
For the past year we’ve been listening to the ideas, hopes and needs of Kentuckians, learning from what other states have done, and tapping into technological and economic expertise to put together a draft plan for what’s possible, what it will take and why it matters for Kentucky to make a just transition to a clean energy economy
If you’re interested in being part of a well-informed, creative, visionary, justice-oriented conversation about building the agenda for Kentucky’s energy future, join us September 30 – October 1 in Louisville.

Renewable energy – including electricity generated from solar, wind and water – is among the fastest growing sectors of the US economy. For too long, Kentucky has been on the sidelines of those developments, but that is beginning to change. In this workshop we’ll learn from several experienced renewable energy developers about the trends, opportunities, and barriers to renewable energy in the Commonwealth. We’ll examine how our renewable energy policies and trends compare to other states across the Southeast and nationally. And we’ll consider key opportunities for accelerating renewable energy deployment in Kentucky.
