Jackson Energy

Jackson Energy was founded to make electric service possible for rural neighbors, and that mission has grown alongside southeastern Kentucky. Our employees maintain thousands of miles of line through varied terrain while working to keep members informed and restore power safely when storms disrupt service. We are proud to be locally governed and focused on the people and communities behind every connection.
