Kentucky Power is an investor owned company supplying electricity in 20 counties within the state of Kentucky including Pike County, Boyd County, Floyd County, Greenup County, and Perry County. Kentucky Power's average residential electricity rate per kilowatt hour is 14.10 cents per kilowatt hour. While this is above the state average rate of 12.52 cents per kilowatt hour, it is less than the nationwide average of 15.64 cents. Of the 6,433,073 megawatt hours the provider sold and dispossessed, 5,391,298 were via sales to end users. The electricity generated in the company's power plants made up 35.15% of the electricity sourced by the company and the purchase of wholesale electricity made up an additional 64.85%. The total revenue for Kentucky Power in 2022 from electricity sales was $802,124,000, with 87.03% coming from retail sales to end users and 7.45% from sales to the wholesale electricity market.

Luckily, Kentucky Power allows consumers to participate in net metering programs. Installation of solar panels and alternative electricity sources is often too expensive for residents. 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 6.70% 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 3.69% and the US average is 2.87%, giving Kentucky Power a rank of 1206th best out of 3517 providers reporting energy loss in the US.
