I did a bit more research and found that Paducah is a major supplier but there are many others in Kentucky. 

The numbers are really promising, more important, imo, is that it's a myth breaker.

Paducah Power, a public utility provider in Kentucky, reported that three Bitcoin mining companies are now purchasing nearly 20% of its electricity output—a figure projected to increase to 33% in 2025.

I find the numbers pretty remarkable. They are consuming very meaningful amounts of power if Paducah Power serves the entire state (which is implied but unclear to me).

In 2024, the three Bitcoin mining companies accounted for 4% of Paducah Power’s total electricity sales. However, Chief Financial Officer Doug Handley explained that these companies have been ramping up operations, now consuming nearly 20% of the city’s energy output in early 2025.
