Paducah Power System

10/14/2026

Congratulations to our staff for their work that led to three awards for Paducah Power System at the American Municipal Power, Inc. annual conference this week. We were recognized with a Public Power Community Engagement and Service honor for Christmas in the Park and an Employee Engagement and Workforce Advancement award for our AmpedUp program for high school students. We were also recognized with a System Improvement and Grid Resilience honor for our upgrades to our #6 substation. Our Technical Services Manager Jerry Puffenbarger led that project.

This kind of recognition only happens because of the dedication and hard work of our employees, and in the case of Christmas in the Park, all of the people in the community who help to make that event happen each year. We are proud.

Our annual free disposal of E-scrap and fluorescent bulbs for McCracken County residents is busy! Today only until 4pm.

Save the date! Paducah Power's annual free E-scrap collection for Public Power Week is Monday, October 12 from 7am to 4pm at 1500 Broadway St., Paducah. We will collect fluorescent bulbs (no lighting fixtures), and E-scrap such as old TVs and computers for proper disposal. We recommend you destroy the hard drive of lap tops and computers before drop-off.

This collection is for McCracken County residents and is not for large commercial entities or excessive loads. You may be asked to show your driver's license to demonstrate residency.

The event is the Monday after fall break, so gather your items now to be prepared for October 12.
