Electric Generating Equipment Considerations
Considering the installation of electric generating equipment?
Kentucky Power
is ready to work with you on the safe and reliable interconnection of your electric
generating equipment with the
Kentucky Power
system.
Off-the-shelf portable generators, often used for backup or emergency power, should
not be connected to your internal wiring without proper isolation from
Kentucky Power
network.
However, if you are considering the installation of permanent electric generating
equipment (such as a solar or wind generating system), which will be used often
and connected to your internal wiring, we can help by reviewing your plans. Following
the proper interconnection procedures is important for your safety and for the reliable
operation of the
Kentucky Power
system and your installation. For more specific information, download our Customer Interconnection Guide (PDF), or contact our
