DEDI is housed within the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet. For more information, visit us at energy.ky.govenergy.ky.gov Fast Facts Around 4% of net electricity generation in Kentucky comes from renewable sources. Hydroelectricity accounts for almost all of RE generation. Geothermal, wood, and solar are showing strong growth rates for residential energy demands. Distributed generation sources have grown to almost 20 MW statewide, including the nation’s first net zero school in Warren County. 3
