What is the goal of Home Uplift for EPB and TVA?

Try the steps below to resolve your issue.

EPB’s primary goal is to improve quality of life in our community through products, services and programs that empower our customers and help them thrive. Plus, reducing energy usage helps us lighten energy demands on our Smart Grid, lowering energy costs for our entire community. Improved energy efficiency also helps the environment and local wildlife.

Consider this: in Tennessee, energy bills are disproportionately high for lower income households and take up a greater percentage of their limited income (source). Meanwhile, technological advances have helped make modern appliances and electrics more energy efficient than ever before, but replacing older, less efficient models with new ones is often expensive and out of reach for households with lower income. In other words, the people who could benefit the most from energy improvements that lower their energy bills have difficulty affording these upgrades in the first place. We’re here to serve our community, and helping these customers increase energy savings and improve health and comfort at no cost is one way we can do this.
