Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities (LG&E/KU) believe it is vital to reach out to school children with important and timely energy messages. Children being educated today are not only our future customers, but they also have an influence on energy use in their homes and schools.

Building an understanding of energy is important in the classroom. That understanding starts with the teacher. In order to accomplish our objective of providing high quality energy education experiences for elementary and middle school children in our service area, we must start by expanding the opportunity for classroom teachers to obtain high quality energy-related curriculum and professional development.

We recently partnered with the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project, a nonprofit education association that provides professional development, innovative materials correlated to the National Science Education and Kentucky Core Content Standards, and ongoing support to educators nationwide.

Today's students are tomorrow's workforce and decision makers. Building the foundations for an understanding of energy today paves the way for an energy educated tomorrow.
