Warren Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation

Warren Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation (Warren RECC) was formed in 1938 to bring electricity to rural areas of South-Central Kentucky. We began with 325 members in Warren, Edmonson, and Simpson Counties. Today, we serve over 73, 000 members across Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Grayson, Logan, Ohio, Simpson, and Warren Counties, making us the 10th largest local power company (LPC) in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) region. We are also the largest TVA provider in Kentucky.

Warren RECC strives to be the trusted energy advisor for all our commercial and industrial members. We work in partnership with TVA to offer financial and rate incentives to qualified industrial and commercial customers to assist with infrastructure costs and lower overall operating costs. We have an engineering team dedicated to working directly with companies and economic development officials to help make sure our communities have healthy, thriving economies. This team provides energy audits, billing review, and technical services, including power quality analysis and predictive maintenance to our commercial members, so company officials know they’re receiving the best service and making the most efficient use of their electricity dollar.

In Warren County, Warren RECC delivers electricity to both the South-Central Kentucky Industrial Park and the Kentucky Transpark, providing more than 50 industries with over 140 MVA of total capacity with some of the lowest industrial rates in the country. Warren County has become an industrial hub with rapid growth and Warren RECC is currently supporting multiple projects and expansions.

Through our partnership with TVA, Warren RECC delivers innovative solutions and programs to meet industries’ ever-changing needs, including the groundbreaking “Green Invest” program which helps companies to meet their corporate sustainability goals. We have helped industries navigate the pandemic and post-pandemic economic challenges with the “Pandemic Relief Credit” rate incentive to help industries recover and restart their operations.

In addition to working with economic development officials and local industries, we strive to improve our communities in other ways. Since 2019, Warren RECC has partnered with like-minded companies to bring high-speed internet to as many of our members as possible. We are kickstarting the effort to bridge the digital divide by focusing on providing service in the rural areas. To date, we are offering service to over 21,000 of our members, that have no high-speed internet option, in parts of Warren, Simpson, Butler, Edmonson, and Grayson Counties. We look forward to continuing to grow our projects and expanding into additional areas.

Eighty-five years later, we’re still run locally, and we still have a heart for the communities we serve. While we have grown tremendously and look forward to continued growth, you can count on the same personal and professional service you have come to expect from Warren RECC.
