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.

The transition to clean energy creates opportunities for new jobs and careers across many sectors of the economy and communities. In this workshop we’ll explore ways community organizations, organized labor, utilities and government are collaborating to ensure that the jobs created are good jobs. We’ll learn about some promising models and approaches taken by communities around the country, and several terrific new programs here in Kentucky. Together we’ll consider what’s needed to generate more clean energy jobs in Kentucky. And we'll discuss ways to ensure that the workers and communities who need them most have access to meaningful job training - and jobs!
