We're doing our part to keep what we love about our home
We're all in for the great quality of life Chattanooga's outdoors provides. That's why we care about managing our impact and giving our customers green options – we work like our grandkids will live here, because if they don't already, we hope they will.
Shedding light on cleaner energy
We make it easy to opt in to the benefits cleaner power like solar provides. Through Solar Share™, Chattanooga’s first and only community solar project, you can lease solar panels from the 4,400-panel array established by EPB and TVA for as little as $3.50 per month.
Driving change with fuel alternatives
Cleaner air benefits all of us. So in addition to Smart Grid automation, reducing our impact by at least 250,000 trucks, more than 50% of EPB’s fuel purchases go to greener alternative fuels such as bio diesel.
Helping those in need with a Home Uplift
The Home Uplift program helps customers in need by investing up to $10 per square foot to complete necessary improvements to make their homes more comfortable and 20% more energy-efficient. Plus, 60% of participants report improved health, including fewer colds, allergy symptoms and asthma episodes, and better sleep.
Participants save about $450 a year, and they have also saved our community over 3 million pounds of air pollution, which is like the benefit we get from nearly 2,000 acres of US Forest.

Improving energy efficiency while reducing waste
Customers like you have helped us proactively reduce energy waste as well as identify incentives for investing in energy efficient solutions by partnering with EPB’s Key Customer and Energy Services teams.
Each week, you help us reduce landfills by recycling nearly 60 tons of wood chips from downed trees, wooden power poles, and more. As a result, EPB has earned TVA EnergyRight® Solutions Top Performer awards in five categories.
Leading stewardship
Our outdoor spaces do so much for us, and Chattanooga has something for everyone. EPB partners with organizations stewarding public lands so you can blaze new trails, relax on the water, or climb to new heights.
For sights (and sounds!) you can’t get anywhere else: Reflection Riding
EPB partners with Reflection Riding and the City of Chattanooga on the Free Tree Releaf Program that gives each household in the EPB service territory 2 free native trees per round. But there’s more!
300 acres hosting unique plants and animals that call our area home, you can:
Stroll among the native wildflowers.
Bike to the top of Lookout Mountain.
Listen out for the call of one of the most endangered wolves in the world, the American Red Wolf from their special, enclosed conservation area.
