Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities – Optimized EV Charging

Enroll your Level 2 smart charger or EV to earn $25 upfront plus $5 monthly by letting LG&E and KU optimize your daily charging schedule to manage grid demand. You maintain full control—you can override the optimized schedule anytime through your charger's app, EV app, or ChargingRewards app, and the utility may adjust your charging during up to 10 demand response events per year during extreme temperatures or critical needs.

This program incentivizes residential customers to enroll qualifying Level 2 smart chargers and EVs, providing utilities visibility into and control over charging patterns to manage grid load. Contractors should inform customers that enrollment triggers a $25 one-time payment plus ongoing $5 monthly incentives, though participants must accept up to 10 annual demand response adjustments or forfeit monthly payments and risk disenrollment.

The program targets residential EV and Level 2 smart charger owners in LG&E and KU service territory, offering $25 enrollment incentives plus $5 monthly participation rewards to shift charging loads and reduce peak demand. Participants must retain the ability to override schedules via app but are contractually obligated to accept up to 10 demand response events annually; non-compliance results in forfeiture of monthly incentives and potential program disenrollment.
