EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE UTILITY COSTS
Those who still
think of Kentucky as home only to the Kentucky Derby, bourbon and bluegrass
may be in for a jolt:
For Five consecutive years, Kentucky has
enjoyed the lowest industrial electric costs in the entire United States,
according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Recently,
Kentucky’s average industrial rate for electricity per kilowatt-hour was 3.4
cents, 35 percent below the U.S. average of 5.27 cents per kwh.
Natural Gas costs in Kentucky are also
extremely competitive vs. the remainder of the U.S., with availability from
thirty-five gas distribution companies, thirty-four intrastate pipeline gas
companies and 160 municipal, college, or housing authority providers.
An extensive surface water network of
rivers, streams, and lakes, complemented by ground water supplies that are
very pronounced in certain regions of the state, guarantee an ample supply
of water for industrial and commercial use. Treated water is distributed in
Kentucky communities by sixteen investor owned water companies, twenty-two
water associations, one hundred thirty-one water districts, and eighty-four
municipal water utilities.
