Stop spending so much on your Kentucky power bill! The electric bill can be a budget-buster when you’re surviving on a low income.
- Advertisements -
Fortunately, your power company can usually help. There are several unknown or little-advertised programs that power companies may offer that can help lower the cost of your power bill.
Most power companies offer a budget billing plan, which averages the annual cost of electricity in a home and bills the customer in 12 even installments. This can help low-income customers maintain a budget and avert payment problems, especially during the more expensive winter months.

Paducah Power System in Paducah, Kentucky. They are horrible. They turn people’s power off in 17 degree weather with small kids in the house. They wouldn’t wait until the afternoon when I got back in town from a job to pay it. If you let them know when you’ll pay it, they hurry and turn it off to get a reconnect fee. There was a lawsuit against them and people were supposed to get refunds and the rates reduced, but it never happened. They are a private utility company, so the utility commission can’t do anything and they know it. Meanwhile, it’s illegal right across the river in Illinois to turn off the electricity in extreme heat, cold, if there are elderly, disabled, or otherwise sick or vulnerable people in your house. Paducah Power also will not allow other companies to pay to use their lines so that people can choose their power company. We lived in a big four bedroom house with relatives, and the power was less than half of what we’re paying for a tiny three bedroom. We’re renting and the landlords don’t have heat or air that works there’s no insulation in the walls, etc. Plus, they are in foreclosure and haven’t told us, we figured it out from the occupancy visits, etc from the mortgage company. We’re looking to move. It looks like I’ll have to find a fourth job, to get a down payment and first month’s rent to get out of this place. Any info on assistance for Paducah Kentucky would be helpful.
