Kentucky Power Company

Kentucky Power Company, an American Electric Power operating company, serves about 162,500 customers across roughly 20 counties in the Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky, regulated by the Kentucky Public Service Commission. As of June 2026, Kentucky Power does not offer an EV-specific time-of-use rate, a residential or commercial EV charger rebate, or a managed-charging program of its own; residential customers take service on the standard Residential Service (R.S.) tariff, and the main EV charging incentive available to them is the federal home charging credit.

Kentucky Power does not publish an EV-specific time-of-use rate. Residential customers take service on the standard Residential Service (R.S.) tariff, which bills a flat energy charge that does not vary by time of day, so charging an EV overnight costs the same per kilowatt-hour as charging it during the afternoon. Commercial customers can elect the Large General Service Time of Day (L.G.S.-T.O.D.) schedule, but that is a general demand rate, not an EV charging product. An eastern Kentucky EV owner who wants lower overnight pricing will not find a Kentucky Power rate built for that today.

Because Kentucky Power offers no residential or commercial EV charger rebate and no managed-charging program of its own, there is nothing to stack against the standard rate. The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (30C), the home charging incentive most Kentucky Power customers could previously use, ended June 30, 2026 and is no longer available. Note that the residential EV charger rebates and managed-charging rewards that appear in Kentucky belong to other providers, mainly LG&E and KU and several rural electric cooperatives, not to Kentucky Power.

Kentucky Power is an American Electric Power operating company serving a rural, mountainous footprint in eastern Kentucky, and AEP files programs separately in each state, so its offerings differ from sibling company Appalachian Power in Virginia and West Virginia and from the LG&E and KU utilities elsewhere in Kentucky. Any new EV rate or program would come through a Kentucky Public Service Commission filing, so the PSC tariff record is the place to confirm current terms.
