Supporting business investment and growth
The Economic Development Rider (EDR) is designed to help support new and expanding businesses by aligning electric service costs with project needs during key growth periods.
LG&E and KU work with eligible customers to evaluate whether the rider may apply to specific projects, while ensuring consistency with approved tariffs and regulatory requirements.
How the Economic Development Rider works
The rider is structured to support qualifying projects that meet established economic development criteria. Eligibility, terms, and duration depend on project details and applicable requirements.
Participation is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure fairness for all customers and alignment with economic development objectives.
