KY COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL /ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

The Council partners with Community Action Kentucky and, through that state association, several Kentucky energy providers – including Columbia Gas, Delta Natural Gas and Kentucky Utilities (KU) – to enroll income-eligible customers in our core service areas of Lexington-Fayette, Bourbon, Harrison and Nicholas counties to receive energy subsidies.

Eligibility and the type of assistance vary depending on the terms of each partnership. Participants must apply for and accept home weatherization services, when available. Weatherization includes procedures such as installing energy-efficient appliances, installing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, insulating ceilings and exterior walls, repairing or replacing heating and cooling equipment, and more. Participants should expect a comprehensive intake process to help determine their household’s utility needs.
