The mission of the Energy Department is to ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.

Office of Energy Policy's mission is to utilize Kentucky’s energy resources for the betterment of the Commonwealth while protecting and improving our environment. We hope to achieve a better understanding; communicating about how rapid changes occurring in the energy sector (such as advancements and cost reductions in certain technologies; federal and other states’ policies; and market forces) place pressure on existing energy systems, but also present new opportunities for energy users and producers.

This library will allow you to find publications and products provided by the DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy specifically for our constituents.

Primary energy sources take many forms, including nuclear energy, fossil energy -- like oil, coal and natural gas -- and renewable sources like wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower. These primary sources are converted to electricity, a secondary energy source, which flows through power lines and other transmission infrastructure to your home and business. Learn more about America’s energy sources: fossil, nuclear, renewables and electricity.

This page contains multimedia resources including: videos, games and activities from Education and Workforce Development in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

The State Energy Data System (SEDS) is the source of the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) comprehensive state energy statistics. EIA's goal in maintaining SEDS is to create historical time series of energy production, consumption, prices, and expenditures by state that are defined as consistently as possible over time and across sectors for analysis and forecasting purposes.

Homeowners can receive tax credits for making energy-saving improvements to their home, such as new windows and doors, roofing, insulation, HVAC, water heaters and biomass stoves.

Kentucky Coal Facts is produced by the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet in partnership with the Kentucky Coal Association.

The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet and the Department for Energy Development and Independence offer the Kentucky Energy Profile to provide an overview of energy consumption and production within the Commonwealth, to serve as an impartial point of reference for the general public, researchers, and policy makers, and to serve as a foundation for discussing Kentucky’s energy future. All of the information summarized in this report was obtained from public sources, including a variety of state and Federal Government agencies.
