E.ON US
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
E.ON US is the American subsidiary of German-based E.ON, based in Louisville, Kentucky. It is composed of the following companies:
- Louisville Gas & Electric (LG&E)
- Kentucky Utilities (KU)
- Old Dominion Power (ODP) (a subsidiary of Kentucky Utilities)
- Western Kentucky Energy (generates electricity on behalf of Big Rivers Electric Corporation, a transmission and generation cooperative owned by Touchstone Energy)
The company was created in 1998, when LG&E acquired KU/ODP, becoming LG&E Energy. In 2000, Powergen, a British-based company, acquired LG&E Energy, which still operated under that name. In 2002, E.ON acquired Powergen; the following year, in 2003. E.ON transferred the LG&E Energy group to its American subsidiary, E.ON US Holdings.
