One example, he said, is the recent decision by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, not to veto a bill passed by the Republican-controlled General Assembly intended to prevent the closing of half-century-old and uneconomical coal-fired power plants.
Repugs have a super majority in both houses so his veto would have been over-ridden. Probably a political move as Beshear is up for re-election this fall.
KY are LG&E and KY Utilities (both owned by PPL) have some Hydro and Solar. From their site...
Hydroelectric
We have operated our two hydroelectric facilities, Ohio Falls and Dix Dam, since the 1920s.
The two facilities can produce more than 100 megawatts when water is flowing; production at Ohio Falls increased by another 27 percent when renovations to the facility were completed in January 2019.
Ohio Falls is uniquely located near the Falls of the Ohio Natural Wildlife Conservation Area on the Ohio River. The Army Corps of Engineers operates the Falls’ dam and spill to help control and monitor river navigation, making energy production dependent upon river activity.
Our Dix Dam plant, once hailed as the world’s largest stone-filled dam, not only produces renewable energy, but also helps regulate water levels of Lake Herrington.
Solar
We also host Kentucky’s largest utility-scale solar photovoltaic facility. The solar facility, which features more than 45,000 solar panels occupies approximately 50 acres at the company's E.W. Brown Generating Station in Mercer County.
The panels are positioned to optimize the available sunlight for producing energy. The site is projected to produce its full potential, up to 10 megawatts of energy, approximately 400 hours annually (4.5 percent of the year). Considering all available hours of sunlight, the panels are projected to produce 19,000 megawatt hours of energy, enough to provide energy to 1,500 homes based on a usage of 1,000 kilowatt hours per month.
