Net Metering Tariffs
Net metering is available to member-generators who own, operate and maintain electrical generating facilities using solar energy designed to operate in parallel with the existing Inter-County Energy electrical distribution system and be primarily intended to offset part or all of the member-generator’s own electrical requirements. If you install a solar-electric generating system or wind generation, hydro, biomass or biogas at your home or office with a capacity of 45 kilowatts or less, you may qualify for Kentucky's Net Metering Program. Solar applications can be sent to dannyl@intercountyenergy.net and dan@intercountyenergy.net. For more information go to Kentucky Solar. Our Net-Metering Tariff can also be found at the following link. KY PSC Home
Another resource for those interested in installing solar is the Kentucky Solar Energy Society. Here you can find the latest in Kentucky on solar and a list of solar companies in and around Kentucky.

Landfill Gas Plants: From Junk to Juice
In the fall of 2003, EKPC opened three power plants that produce electric power from landfill gas.

The projects have been applauded for being both environmentally responsible and cost efficient.
