Historical outage patterns in Kentucky
Federal outage records (EAGLE-I, kept by the U.S. Department of Energy)
contain 29,535 county-level outage records (200+ customers at peak) in Kentucky between 2014 and 2025 across all 120 counties — 131 of them major events of 10,000+ customers.
Half were restored within about 2.3 hr, and county-level outages here have been most common in summer (33% of all records). The busiest year on record was 2025.
Largest single-county outage on record: ~141,810 customers out in Jefferson County in November 2025, restored after about 6.9 days.
Months that hit the widest area at once — these rank among the three largest outages ever recorded in the most counties: March 2023 (56 counties), November 2025 (28 counties) and February 2021 (22 counties).
Where restoration has historically taken longest: Jefferson County (~6 hr typical), Knott County (~5.3 hr typical) and Pike County (~5.3 hr typical) — against ~2.3 hr statewide.

historical records, not outages tracked live by this site. Statewide figures aggregate the same per-county records shown on each county page below;
the statewide restoration figure is the typical (middle) value across the per-county typical times, weighted by how many records each county has. A county appears in a “widest area” month when that month
produced one of its three largest recorded outages.
