The Frankfort Plant Board Electric (FPB) is responsible for providing electric power and service to approximately 21,000 meters in Franklin County and portions of Shelby and Woodford Counties.

FPB maintains both overhead and underground electric infrastructure. An on-call truck provides 24-hour service to our customers. As a municipal utility provider, FPB strives to keep rates as low as possible. The money received each month from bills is primarily used to purchase wholesale power and maintain / expand our electric infrastructure.

FPB ranks as one of the lowest revenue per kilowatt (kWh) electric providers in the six state area.

599 power providers in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia were compared in the 2010-2011 American Public Power Association (APPA) Annual Directory and Statistical Report. The APPA report ranked FPB as the ninth (9th) lowest overall. The list includes Investor Owned (IOU), Municipals (MU), and Cooperative (COOP) companies. FPB is the fifth lowest in Kentucky behind smaller providers like: Nicholasville, Bardstown, and Henderson.

Another example of FPB’s outstanding electric service is the small amount of energy loss. The national average of energy loss is 4.9% for municipals, 5.1% for independently owned utilities and 6.2% for cooperatives. FPB, a municipal, is only 3.5%. Attention to detail and careful construction planning, along with efficient distribution transformers and a compact service territory help FPB to be a regional leader in energy loss.

FPB Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations will add about 25 miles of RPH (maximum Range recovered Per hour of Charge), making it easy for EVs to gain 100+ miles of range when parked for long periods of time. Parking and charging for an hour or two can add 25-50 miles of range, more than enough for everyday driving needs.**

Current FPB EV Charging Station locations are: Franklin County Farmers Market, Juniper Hill Park, and Olive Street.
