Fiber Internet Services

In 2004, Paducah Power System connected all its substations with fiber optic cable, creating a 61-mile fiber backbone for our service territory.  Besides upgrading our system, we wanted to provide the community with a fiber network that supports economic development, education, and health services. We are the fiber backbone for multiple local internet providers, and we directly serve a few customers including city government, our hospitals, and local schools.  For years, people have asked us to offer internet, and we are now prepared to explore residential service through our pilot fiber-to-the-home project.   We have established service in several neighborhoods whose infrastructure, customer base (ie..single-family homes, apartments), and population density will help us to determine the feasibility of offering internet to our entire service territory.
