Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities – Small Business Audit and Direct Install

AI summary · 7/12/2026

As a small business owner with an active LG&E or KU account, you can receive a free onsite energy audit and installation of energy-efficiency measures at no additional cost to identify money-saving opportunities. You qualify if you operate a retail, food service, professional services, or maintenance business and have not received this service in the past three years. Contact LG&E or KU to enroll and schedule your customized audit.

This program provides a direct installation channel for energy-efficiency contractors working with small commercial customers in LG&E and KU service territories. Program staff will conduct the onsite energy audit, so your role focuses on delivering the retrofit work to eligible participants who meet General Service or CGS/IGS rate qualifications, with no cost to the customer and no more than one engagement per three-year period per site.

The Small Business Audit and Direct Install program targets active LG&E and KU small business customers (retail, food service, professional services, maintenance services) under specified rate options, providing third-party energy audits and direct installation of efficiency measures at no customer cost.
