What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Public Service Commission required the utilities LG&E and KU to seek certification. This action comes amid arguments regarding incentives for utilities to share consumer usage data. A national nonprofit noted that the Green Button Connect tool, which allows ratepayers to share real-time usage data with third parties, has seen very low usage among LG&E and KU customers, despite being promoted by the utilities.

The debate centers on whether utilities have an incentive to make the Green Button Connect tool available. Former Public Service Commission chair Kent Chandler stated that promoting the tool could help reduce a ratepayer’s energy usage, which would in turn reduce utility revenue.
