Here for half a million people, and one reason: to serve.
At EPB, every mile of power line and every strand of fiber exists to enhance the lives of everyone in the Chattanooga area. Simply put, we believe that when we serve our neighbors well, we serve the greater good. For more than 90 years, that commitment has shaped better ways to connect, protect, and empower every person in this community.
Redefining what a utility can do for a community.
A history of saying “yes.”
Yes to new ideas. Yes to what’s possible. And, most importantly, yes to supporting the people we serve. Since 1935, it’s been the driving force behind meeting, and often anticipating, the needs of the community. Saying “yes” led to building the nation’s first community-wide fiber optic network–so students can learn faster, the economy can grow stronger, and neighbors can stay connected. Now, being open to new ideas is opening the door to innovations in quantum technology. When it comes to helping the community move forward, we believe there’s only one answer: Yes.
Driven to improve lives for over 90 years.
Saying “yes” to building the nation’s first community-wide fiber network has generated $5.3 billion in benefits for the community, including creating over 10,000 jobs.
