Representing Kentucky’s Electric Cooperatives
The Kentucky Association of Electric Cooperatives provides several services for the 24 local, consumer-owned electric distribution utilities in the state, as well as the two "generation and transmission" cooperatives that produce power for those distribution co-ops. Those services include representation before the Legislature, Congress, and regulatory bodies; safety training; coordination of management training; and public relations support including publication of Kentucky Living magazine. KAEC is governed by a board consisting of one manager and one director from each of its 26 member systems, and is headquartered in Louisville.

Kentucky’s electric co-ops are committed to improving the quality of life for Kentuckians by providing a high level of electrical service at the lowest possible price through a local, consumer-owned form of business organization.

Affiliated Organizations
In addition to providing a host of legislative, communications, and training services to Kentucky's electric cooperatives, KAEC is affiliated with three organizations that serve Kentucky's electric co-ops.

Published to create a community of people who take pride in thinking of themselves as Kentuckians and as knowledgeable electric co-op members, in order to improve their quality of life. Kentucky Living is read by more than one million people each month.

Serving more than 5700 electric co-op employees and their families in Kentucky, Missouri, and Ohio, the Rural Cooperatives Credit Union is one of Kentucky's fastest growing credit unions.
