About LG&E Power Outages
Louisville Gas and Electric serves Louisville and nearby Kentucky communities. Kentucky Utilities is the sister PPL company for much of the rest of the state — same outage-center website, different operating company on the bill. Ice, Ohio River flooding, and summer storms are the restoration drivers. An Lexington outage is usually KU, not LG&E.
Users do not pick LG&E. We count power reports from states where Louisville Gas & Electric appears — Kentucky-wide. We are not LG&E.
How to Report a LG&E Outage
Open lge-ku.com/outage-center or the LG&E-KU app on cellular data and look up the LG&E account address. Report by phone or app. If the bill says Kentucky Utilities, use the same site but the KU account. ETRs come from LG&E, not from this page.
Why LG&E Power Goes Out
In Louisville and surrounding Kentucky LG&E electric territory, an electric outage is usually local distribution, not a collapse of the bulk grid. Typical LG&E patterns:
A glaze event takes suburban Jefferson County laterals down while Lexington stays on KU.
River-level flooding and wind affect low-lying Louisville circuits.
Fast cells drop trees on metro laterals in a few neighborhoods at a time.
Most of Kentucky outside Louisville is Kentucky Utilities. Check the bill.
Before You Call LG&E
- Confirm the bill says Louisville Gas & Electric or LG&E, not Kentucky Utilities.
- Open the LG&E-KU Outage Center or app.
- See whether neighbors on the same transformer are dark.
- Report through LG&E if that is the operating company.
- Stay away from downed lines near floodwater; call 911.
