25x'25 in Kentucky
25x’25 is a rallying cry for Kentucky to use renewable energy and energy efficiency as a means to get at least 25 percent of our energy from improved technology and renewable resources, such as solar, biomass and biofuels, by the year 2025.
The national 25x’25 Action Plan  is a renewable energy initiative backed by businesses, organizations and individuals united by a common interest in making America’s energy future more secure, affordable and environmentally sustainable.
The Kentucky Rural Energy Consortium (KREC) has taken the lead in coordinating statewide efforts to develop the Kentucky 25x'25 roadmap - a pathway toward achieving the 25x'25 vision for Kentucky.
