Kentucky Department for Energy Development and Independence
Kentucky's challenge for the 21st century is to develop clean, reliable, affordable energy sources that help us improve our energy security, reduce our carbon dioxide emissions and provide economic prosperity. For Kentucky to be a national energy leader, we must fully integrate the development of our energy resources with our mission to protect the environment. The Department for Energy Development and Independence was created within the Energy and Environment Cabinet to help us achieve that goal.
