Environmental Stewardship at EKPC
We’re not just talking about environmental conservation…
we’re doing it.

We employ three full-time biologists who ensure that we protect endangered species and archaeological treasures, and that we comply with the National Environmental Policy Act.

It's Our Kentucky Home
From the majestic mountains to the rolling farmlands to the clear lakes and rivers, Kentucky is filled with natural treasures. Like our members, we live, work and play here. And we're serious about being good stewards of the environment. Here are just a few examples:

DSM/Renewable Collaborative:
Working together to expand the use of renewable energy and explore demand side management programs.
