NES joins thousands of fellow utilities across the country to celebrate Public Power Week. Every year during the first week of October, public power utilities across the U.S. celebrate Public Power Week to help customers and stakeholders understand how they can engage with their community-owned utility and benefit from all its offerings.
Public Power Week serves as a chance for NES to show our appreciation to the friends and neighbors we serve. NES receives its power from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the nation’s largest public power provider, and works closely with the utility to ensure safe and reliable power to more than 430,000 NES customers across Middle Tennessee.
NES is one of many community-owned public power utilities that power homes and businesses in communities across America. Public power companies safely provide reliable, cost-efficient electricity to more than 54 million Americans, while giving back to the communities they serve. 15% of electricity customers in the U.S. are served by public power companies. In 2022, customers of public power utilities paid 9% less for electricity than homes powered by private utilities.
NES honors all public power utilities and employees that work to keep communities powered across the country. Show your support for public power companies by using the hashtag #PublicPowerWeek.
