A report commissioned by several local organisations reveals that Kentucky’s continued reliance on outdated coal-fired power plants is no longer the least-cost option for providing electricity to households. According to the economic and energy analysis conducted through 2050, progressively replacing these plants with renewable energy sources, battery storage systems, and efficiency programmes would significantly reduce consumer spending.
