lge-ku.com

One of Kentucky’s best known electric utilities is announcing an expansion of renewable energy generation.  It comes right in time for sunny summer days.

L G and E and Kentucky Utilities has completed construction of a second 500 kilowatt section at its Solar Share facility in Simpsonville.  The subscription based solar share program is available to the utilities’ residential, business, and industrial customers.  L-G & E says the cost to support the solar energy program can be as low as 20 cents per day. 

When energy is produced at the 1300 panel array, customers earn credits on their monthly bills, based on their subscription level.  A total of eight 500 kilowatt Solar Share sections are planned for the Simpsonville facility, for a total of four megawatts.?
