Electric company
Who is the electric company in Monticello, KY?
South Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative (South Kentucky RECC) serves the Monticello area. The co-op bought the system of the former Monticello Electric Plant Board, and its tariffs on file with the Kentucky Public Service Commission name that former service area.

Code update
Kentucky electrical code changes from July 15, 2026
Kentucky applies the 2023 National Electrical Code through its building codes. HBC had delayed some 2023 rules, and three of them became enforceable on July 15, 2026.
Work with a plan approval or an electrical permit issued before July 15, 2026 does not have to meet these three rules.
Some GFCI rules in sections 210.8(A) and 210.8(D)(8) to (11) are still not enforced.
Now enforced
- 230.67: surge protection on services that supply homes.
- 210.52(C): outlet locations for kitchen islands, peninsulas and countertops.
- 314.27(C): fan-rated ceiling boxes in rooms where a ceiling fan could go later.
Lake homes
Lake homes, hot tubs and outdoor power near Monticello
Monticello sits close to Lake Cumberland, and many properties have hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, boat lifts or dock lights.
Wiring near water carries the highest shock risk. GFCI protection, bonding and proper burial depth are what keep it safe.
Hot tub wiring is the most searched outdoor job here. See hot tub wiring in Monticello for what the install includes.
Outdoor checklist
- GFCI protection on every outdoor and wet-area outlet
- Weatherproof covers that close with a cord plugged in
- Buried cable at the depth the code sets
- A disconnect within sight of hot tubs and pumps

- DistanceLong runs to a shop, dock or hot tub add wire and trenching.
- Permit and inspectionState permit fees and inspection timing are part of the job.
- UrgencyAfter-hours and storm calls usually cost more.
