Kentucky utilities – Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company – are set to deliver millions of dollars in revenue back to business and residential customers through a credit in the environmental surcharge on their bills. The credit is the result of the by-products left over from the power generation process. 

The utilities, coal-fired generating stations, create electricity for customers and three by-products are left over – fly ash, bottom ash and gypsum – and are recycled to make new products like concrete, cement, fertilizer, porcelain tile, wallboard and roofing shingles.
