Ranked by price against the 45 utilities reporting residential rates in Kentucky, Kentucky Power Co comes 41st of 45. The state's range runs from City of Berea Municipal Utility at 9.04¢ to Grayson Rural Electric Coop Corp at 16.07¢, so where a household sits inside Kentucky depends far more on which utility serves it than on the statewide average alone.

All figures come from the 2024 release, so no comparison mixes vintages. The state figure is customer-weighted across 45 reporting utilities.

Scale and consumption

Kentucky Power Co reported 130.9K residential customers, ranking 4th of 45 utilities in Kentucky by customers served and covering 6.4% of the state's reported residential customers.

Dividing reported residential sales by customers served gives about 14,200 kWh per customer per year - well above the national residential norm, implying a typical annual bill near $2,140.

Within Kentucky the median reporting utility sells about 12,192 kWh per customer, so Kentucky Power Co customers use +16.5% against their own state's middle. Consumption this heavy usually tracks electric heating, sustained air-conditioning load or a largely detached-housing territory, which makes the price per kWh bite harder here than the headline rate suggests.
