Outage risk in Kentucky

Kentucky's outage risk is driven by severe spring and summer thunderstorms and tornado-corridor risk across the state, plus winter ice storms that regularly down power lines statewide; the Louisville and Bowling Green areas see additional exposure to Ohio Valley derecho-scale wind events, while Lexington's Bluegrass Region faces a comparable mix of ice storm and severe convective storm risk.
