Pole attachment services

The Third Party Attachments Group manages joint use and third party attachments to the approximately 500,000 electric distribution poles owned by LG&E and KU. This group is responsible for attachment and joint use agreements, managing the attachment application and approval process, design and construction standards, billing, and regulatory and legal affairs related to pole attachments. Should you need assistance with any of the following, please contact our group.

Joint use refers to the concept of shared infrastructure that emerged during a period when electric utilities and telephone companies began developing their service networks with lines of poles. By providing for space for both companies on the pole, joint use agreements permit electric and telephone companies to serve a given territory without building separate pole lines.

The processes for attachment and billing are specific to each joint use partner. If you represent a joint use partner and are unfamiliar with the terms of your agreement, contact us.
