Net metering allows purchasers of these electricity sources to sell extra megawatt hours back into the grid, making the installation of these alternative sources economically viable.
Kentucky Power reported an annual loss of around 5.88% of the electricity that they generate. Loss of electricity due to heat dissipation during electricity transmission and other causes is a reality of being in the electricity generation business and electricity providers must report these losses to government agencies who track electricity infrastructure efficiencies. The state of Kentucky has an energy loss average of 3.30% and the US average is 2.43%, giving Kentucky Power a rank of 1197th best out of 3530 providers reporting energy loss in the US.
