Customers with an extremely high, continuous load factor qualify for a new Extremely High Load Factor Service tariff, approved in February 2026 as part of KU and LG&E's larger rate reviews. Kentucky Power separately received approval in March 2025 for changes to its industrial general service tariff (Case No. 2024-00305).
Also active in Kentucky: Kentucky's live pipeline includes a 1 GW TeraWulf data centre project at the Muskie Data Campus in eastern Kentucky and a 400 MW PowerHouse Data Centers campus in Louisville.

Figures compiled from the Edison Electric Institute's "Large Load Projects and Tariffs" (September 2026) member-company summary and public regulatory filings.

Weighing Kentucky against another state or a Canadian province with a different rate and interconnection picture entirely? Run both sides of the comparison through our licensed AI data centre cost configurator — it applies each jurisdiction's actual power rate, tax treatment and large-load tariff rules to the same seven build configurations.
Model This State on Your Own Site
Every figure above comes from the same power-cost and tariff dataset behind the SCR AI Build Configurator — a licensed, embeddable widget that models seven data centre build configurations against all nine Canadian provinces and all 50 US states plus DC, returning capital expenditure by line item, energy cost, revenue by commercial structure, EBITDA and payback.
