Green Leaders Group 

The Green Leaders Group allows congregational leaders to share what is going on in their community and connect with like-minded people working to protect the environment.  We meet monthly on the second Wednesday of each month at noon on Zoom. We home you can join us on May 14 at noon.  Email tim@kentuckyipl.org to be added to the list for getting the Zoom link.

 

We are pleased to share that we have renewed our 2kW for $5K program for 2025!  Through this program, your faith community can get a 2 Kilowatt solar array for $5,000.  While this array is not large, installing smaller arrays over time can be much easier for a congregation to implement.  A 2kW (2,000 watt) solar array installed in Kentucky that lays flat on a roof can produce from 2,562 to 2,823 kWh of electricity per year and save $242 annually.  That means that this $5,000 system will generate about $12,000 of electricity in its 50-year life. That’s about a 5% return on your money!

​For more information or if your congregation might be interested in participating in this program, email tim@kentuckyipl.org.

 
 

Call or email your U.S. Senator today and ask them to vote no on the Senate version of the "Big Beautiful Bill" that the House of Representatives passed narrowly on May 22. 

This bill will drastically reduce the renewable energy tax incentives that we need to grow solar energy in Kentucky and the nation.  Kentucky is set to lose 12,000 jobs because of this bill.  Here is information about contacting your senators:

Senator Mitch McConnell

Senator Rand Paul
