How can I keep the power on in my rental properties?
For those who own rental property, we offer a landlord agreement to keep power on in rental spaces between the time tenants move out and new tenants arrive. The agreement protects the rental property owner from disconnect and reconnect fees. When a tenant discontinues service, EPB automatically switches billing into the property owner's name unless a tenant is disconnected for non-payment of their bill, in which case the next tenant should be advised to contact EPB to have the electric power service switched to their name.
For more information or to sign up for this service, please email or call (423) 648-1372 to speak with a customer service representative.
The security deposit on your non-residential account, plus any accrued interest, will first be applied to any unpaid electric bill, and the remaining amount will be refunded to you.
All non-residential electric customers are required to provide an adequate security deposit on their business electric account to ensure coverage, in line with EPB's electric rules and regulations.
You'll need to provide another acceptable form of security deposit on your non-residential account until the preferred option is finalized. Once the bond, letter of credit, or program approval is received, the alternate deposit will be refunded.
Yes, eligible non-residential property owners get a 90-day grace period to connect electric service without a deposit while transitioning a property to a new tenant, as long as the owner is an existing EPB customer in good standing (no disconnect notices, returned checks, or non-pay disconnects). If electric service is needed longer than 90 days, the standard non-residential security deposit policy applies.
The non-residential security deposit is typically set at two times the amount of the highest bill on that business account over the previous 12 months. If you're a new business customer without billing history, or a different type of business is moving into an existing space, the initial non-residential deposit will be based on a fault current sheet from your electrician until at least 6 months of usage history is established.
For a non-residential account, you can choose from:
Cash deposit – held by EPB and accrues interest per EPB's interest rate policy
Indemnity bond – valid for at least one year, in a form acceptable to EPB
Irrevocable letter of credit – valid for at least one year, in a form acceptable to EPB
EPB Enhanced Security Deposit Program – available to non-residential customers with good payment history, subject to insurance carrier approval
Yes. A letter of reference from your previous utility may serve in place of a residential security deposit. Letters must be printed on the utility’s letterhead, authorized by a company official, less than six months old and include a good record of payment for at least 12 months. Also, a co-signer (or guarantor) who is an existing EPB Electric Power customer with a good payment record for at least 12 months may serve in place of a security deposit. The guarantor will be asked to sign an agreement that will remain in effect for one year.
EPB offers a blanket security deposit option for property owners whose non-residential tenant accounts change periodically. Owners can secure each electric account individually or aggregate them, and the deposit is based on the highest bill per account over the past 12 months, adjusted for occupancy rate. The property owner must continuously maintain this deposit, and when a tenant takes over the electric account, the tenant must provide their own non-residential security deposit per standard policy.
Yes, homeowner associations are required to provide a security deposit on their non-residential electric account, following the same policy as other business accounts. However, after 5 years of service with a clean payment history (no disconnects, returned checks, or non-pay issues), the HOA can request that EPB waive the deposit requirement and refund the cash deposit plus interest. If any collection activity occurs afterward, EPB may require the HOA to re-establish the security deposit, and another clean 5-year period would be needed before it could be waived again.
Yes, seasonal non-residential accounts (such as Christmas tree stands or special events) require a minimum security deposit of $350.
Yes. Municipal, county, state, and federal agencies, as well as other utilities, are not required to provide a non-residential security deposit.
Yes. EPB reviews non-residential security deposit amounts annually and may adjust them based on the past 12 months of electric usage on that account. If your business is expanding or adding electric load, the account will be reevaluated as well. You can also request a review of your non-residential deposit at any time.

Although we can’t provide an exact time for when your power will be restored after an outage, we can give you a reasonable estimate. You can report outages, view outage maps, get restoration estimates or updates and monitor repair progress here on our website or by downloading the free MyEPB app on the App Store or Google Play.
There’s no catch — Home Uplift provides up to $10,000 per household in FREE energy upgrades that help improve energy efficiency in our community.
Your income and home must match certain qualifications to benefit from this program, as we are trying to help customers in situations where energy-saving updates are out of reach for their budget. To prove your eligibility, you will need to apply here and provide the requested documentation. There are also certain legal requirements your home must meet to qualify, so an EPB Energy Pro will need to stop by your home to perform an inspection and confirm eligibility. We also may ask you to fill out optional surveys about your experience with Home Uplift.
Levelized Billing gives you the ability to predict your bill each month. If you've been our customer at your current location for at least a year, we can calculate your monthly bill based on a "rolling average" of your power usage over the last 12 months. That means your bill won't fluctuate very much month to month – and you won’t have to settle up any difference at the end of the year.
To sign up for Levelized Billing, please call us at 423-648-1372.
We highly recommend starting the process with a free EPB Energy ProsSM Home Energy Checkup to understand which improvements will give you the greatest energy savings. Once you’ve identified a qualifying home energy improvement project, you’ll choose an approved contractor from the EPB & TVA Quality Contractor Network. Only contractors in this network are approved to help you claim rebates. After your contractor completes your project, you will receive an email from MyTVA@MyTVA.com with instructions on how to receive your rebate. You will also be given the option to schedule a FREE EPB Energy ProsSM Quality Assurance Checkup where we will ensure your contractor’s work meets specifications to help you achieve maximum energy savings.
Your project installation/upgrade must have been completed by a member of the QCN.
Starting October 1, your QCN may submit rebate claims within 30 days from the completion of your Installation(s) and/or upgrade(s). Installations completed in September will be honored if they are claimed within the 30-day window (for example, projects completed on September 15 must be claimed by October 15).
Yes. Just download the FREE MyEPB app from the app store to any mobile device. The app lets you see your current usage and usage history so you can better anticipate energy costs. You can even pay your Energy and Fiber Optics bills conveniently and securely through the app. Plus, you can see outages in your area and report an outage at your address. Then you can enable the MyEPB app to send you notifications of outage restoration updates and alerts when your restoration is complete.
When your project is complete, your contractor will submit your rebate information to TVA EnergyRight on your behalf. TVA EnergyRight will then send you an email from “MyTVA@MyTVA.com” asking you to confirm the details of your project, and claim your rebate. To make sure your rebate is processed within TVA’s redemption timeframe, please provide this information within 60 days. After you submit this information, you should expect to receive your rebate check within 4-6 weeks.
Since the working arrangement for your project is between you and your contractor, we suggest that you try to work out an agreeable resolution directly with the contractor. The quality of work done by contractors who participate in the Quality Contractor Network is something EPB and TVA takes very seriously. So be sure and complete the survey that’s included during the rebate claim process so we can continually evaluate each contractor’s inclusion in the Quality Contractor Network. And remember, EPB Energy ProsSM are available for a free Quality Assurance Checkup to ensure your contractor’s work was done right. If the contractor’s work doesn’t meet EPB’s strict standards for quality, your EPB Energy Pros will work directly with the contractor to ensure the necessary modifications are made.
Every multi-year license includes a buyback option if the customer requests it anytime during the 20-year expected life. A schedule of the buyback values will be established and published at the time of purchase.
Only qualified contractors may receive 2021 Energy Efficiency Tax Credits.

If you qualify for a Home Uplift, the EPB Energy ProsSM will inspect your home and help you select up to $10,000 in energy-saving improvements that you’ll receive at absolutely no cost to you. Upgrades could include anything from new or repaired HVAC units, insulation, energy-efficient appliances, electric water heaters and more.
Most participants reported saving an average of $400 per year in energy costs and experienced improved indoor comfort and air quality — as a result, they had fewer allergy symptoms and illnesses and better sleep quality!
If you or someone you know could benefit from energy upgrades through the Home Uplift program, the application can be found here.
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. 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.
First and foremost, the Automated Grid has avoided nearly 19 million outage minutes - so far. But in addition, the Automated Grid infrastructure serves as a basis for ongoing research into innovative power delivery, grid security and city research - just to name a few. We continue to work the the Department of Energy and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to discover ways this highly intelligent infrastructure can improve quality of life in our community and serve as a best-practice model for other communities.
Yes. EPB’s FREE Home Energy Checkup is designed to show you how your home uses energy, and what you can do to improve efficiency. An EPB Energy Pro will come to your home and assess its energy efficiency. We then provide you with energy-saving improvement recommendations and a link to a list of approved contractors who will do the job right. Call 423-648-1372 to request your FREE Home Energy Checkup today!
There are some recommendations in the EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide that are similar to the more comprehensive DOE Zero Energy Ready Home and EPA Indoor airPlus certification standards. However, EPB’s recommendations are not intended to meet the requirements of any certification program. They are simply cost-effective tips for building homes with increased energy efficiency and air quality based on best practices here in our community.
No. Indoor airPlus is a third-party certification program from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that ensures healthier indoor air quality by recommending certain building practices and product types. While some of the EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide recommendations are similar to those of the EPA Indoor airPlus program, they are not meant to satisfy certification requirements of any kind.
No. Your electricity cost is determined by your home or business’ power meter reading each month. If no power is being delivered to your address, like during an outage, your meter automatically stops until power is restored. When your meter isn’t running, there is no power use to bill during that period of time.
Because the goal of Home Uplift is to help community members who have the most to gain from energy upgrades but cannot afford to make them, applicants must meet the following qualifications to be considered eligible:
You must live in a home serviced by EPB
Your EPB account must be in your name (or your landlord’s name, with consent)
Your income must meet the requirements outlined here.
We also need proof of the following:
Your identification, such as:
Driver’s license or State ID
Birth certificate
Immigration documentation
That you own the home (or your consenting landlord owns the home), such as:
Deed
Title
Property tax receipt or bill
All sources of income for all members of your household
An EPB Energy bill you received within the past 12 months with your name as the account holder (or your landlord’s name)
Your home must not be any of the following:
Apartment
Condo, townhome or multi-family dwelling of three or more units
Unoccupied buildings
Manufactured home built prior to 1976
Manufactured home not on a permanent foundation
New home with less than one year of service with EPB
Business or commercial property
Unfortunately, lightning can sometimes strike and cause a surge that damages electrical systems. While we are unable to provide compensation for this type of event, we can help you find a surge protector that will keep your devices as safe as possible. Set up a 30-minute phone call with an EPB Energy ProSM for free, unbiased expert advice about surge protection, or watch this video to learn more.
For current Solar Share participants: Each solar panel within the array is estimated to produce approximately 37 kWh per month. Determine the percentage of your business's energy use you want to receive as a solar credit and multiply that by your average monthly energy use. For example, if you want 25% of your company's power use to be solar, and your average use is 1,600 kWh per month, you would license 11 panels (1600 x .25 = 400/37 = 10.8).
EPB Solar Share is currently sold out due to popular demand. Sign up for email updates to be among the first to hear about new renewable energy projects.
Yes. Low-watt LED light bulbs use 75% less energy than standard incandescent light bulbs and last up to ten times longer. Installing them in just five of your most frequently used light fixtures can save over $65 a year in energy costs. And, turning off all unnecessary lights saves even more.
Yes! For example, EPB, Habitat for Humanity, and green l spaces worked together to implement these measures on a Habitat Home in 2019. The home included 98% of the recommendations outlined in this EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide. One year after completion, the homeowner reported energy savings of $230 annually over their previous apartment (the equivalent of $500 annually over the average residential bill in EPB’s service territory). In addition, they reported fewer allergy symptoms and better overall health. Plus, they were able to adopt cost-effective EPB Solar Share panels to offset the grid electricity needed for the home.
When your lights blink, that is likely the Smart Grid rerouting power to your location to prevent a power outage. Smart switches immediately detect an outage at your property and deliver power from a separate power source.
Learn more about the Smart Grid on the MyEPB app by selecting "About the Smart Grid" on the home screen.
Yes. Tune-ups for existing electric Heat Pumps or Central Air Conditioning systems can earn a $50 EPB and TVA EnergyRight® Home Energy Rebate per HVAC system.
Since every EPB Electric Power customer account uses power before the first bill is received, we require an initial deposit of $200.00 to cover the cost of this power. However, all new applicants for service undergo a review of their credit history and those with a satisfactory credit rating may have the deposit waived or billed on the first month's bill. Customers with less than satisfactory credit will be required to pay a deposit in advance. Deposits may be paid using Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, debit card or cash in person at one of our three convenient locations and must be paid before electric service can be connected.
As part of EPB's Automated Grid, electric meters have the ability to communicate with the power system and measure your electric consumption every 15 minutes. If there is a power outage or unusual consumption at your home or business we can respond immediately and fix the problem. You can view your own consumption, report outages and more on the MyEPB app.
The program officially ends May 1,2025. To receive an incentive, homes must be completed and documentation submitted no later than October 31st, 2025. Beginning on November 1, 2025, no new incentive submissions will be accepted.
If you’ve misplaced your rebate check, you may request a replacement by calling 1-855-237-2673.
Your security deposit – plus interest – may be refunded upon your request after 12 months of continuous service and a good payment record on residential accounts. If you disconnect your service before your deposit is refunded, the full amount of the deposit and any accrued interest will be applied toward your final bill. Any amount remaining will be refunded to you.
Our Budget Billing option generates a monthly amount due based on your last 12 months of service. At the end of the year, your actual usage will be deducted from the amount you have paid and we will settle any difference in billing (you will receive either a credit or an invoice for the balance due).
To sign up for budget billing, please call us at (423) 648-1372.
Because the goal of Home Uplift is to help community members who have the most the gain from energy upgrades but cannot afford to make them, applicants must meet the income qualifications found here to be considered eligible.
EPB plans to keep and update the Smart Build program. For updates on this program, please sign up here:
Yes. You will, of course, be responsible for all costs associated with any account under your name. If you have been an EPB Energy customer for 12 continuous months with a good payment record, deposits for additional accounts may be waived.
Log in to the MyEPB portal on the home page of EPB.com. There you can manage your accounts, see your usage, pay your bills and more.
Yes. There’s no limit on how many homes one homeowner can include in the program. However, at some point in the process you will be asked to co-sign a Participation Agreement with each home’s renter to ensure that both contractors and EPB Energy ProsSM are allowed on the premise to complete work as needed.
It's good to replace HVAC filters every month in order to reduce heating and cooling use up to 10%. Also, make sure registers aren’t blocked by curtains, furniture or rugs to keep your home’s temperature consistent and maximize HVAC efficiency. And, sealing or replacing leaky HVAC ductwork could save 20% or more on energy use.
A usage anomaly alert will be sent when there is an unusual spike in your usage that does not appear to be related to the weather. In most cases, it will be identified within a few days of it first occurring. A bill threshold alert could occur due to weather (for example, an extremely cold month in the winter) and will typically only be triggered if aggregate usage is high over a longer time period (like weeks instead of days).
The Quality Contractor Network includes local providers who are approved by EPB and TVA to provide superior workmanship that meets strict standards for quality. Hiring a trusted professional is key to a successful home energy improvement experience. If you’re a contractor who is interested in growing your business, register to become part of the network.
Previous participants have reported an average of $400 per year in energy savings. Plus, they avoided potentially costly repairs, maintenance and healthcare visits due to improved health from better air quality.
A notification you receive via the myEPB app when the total charges for your current bill have exceeded a dollar amount that you specify within your app settings.
It depends on what caused the outage and how many areas were affected. Thanks to our Smart Grid, many outages can be restored in near real time, with no human intervention. However, sometimes there is so much damage to power lines and equipment that we will need to assess it on site and call in the appropriate lineman crews to fix it manually. In these instances, we will work hard to restore your power as soon as possible. You can report an outage, keep track of outage restorations, and more on the free MyEPB app.
Your rebate will not be affected by the outcome of a Quality Assurance Checkup and you will receive your rebate after submitting your information through the link provided in the MyTVA email. Your EPB Energy ProsSM will work directly with your contractor on the next steps to fix any issues. And after any issues have been addressed and rectified, the EPB Energy ProSM will come out to your home for a second time to recheck the work.
Thousands of computers, sensors and switches capture and deliver information about power delivery over an 8,000-mile fiber optic network.

EPB Solar Share is a community-based solar program that offers an easy option for current participants to support renewable energy through solar power. The 4,408-panel Solar Share array is located along Holtzclaw Avenue across from Warner Park and is a partnership between EPB and TVA. Solar Share gives current participants a choice of renewable power that dramatically lowers the barriers to entry for participating in solar power generation.
Since its launch in 2017, Solar Share gained so many supporters, we’re currently sold out of panels. Sign up for email updates to be among the first to hear about new renewable energy projects.
No — unfortunately we will need proof that your landlord has provided consent since they own the property. However, if you need our support, we can provide communication materials that you can show your landlord and help explain how the program benefits you both.
Start by setting your thermostat to 72 degrees. Then move it up 1 degree each day in the summer until you find the highest setting that still maintains your family’s comfort. Then do the opposite in the winter. Each degree up in the summer and down in the winter can save roughly 3% on your monthly energy bill. Don’t go too extreme, however. You do want your HVAC to run regularly throughout the day to maintain healthy levels of indoor air humidity.
Another way to save is when you leave for work, adjust your thermostat up 7-10 degrees in the summer. The savings over those 8-10 hours can add up to roughly 10% off your energy bill. And, a smart thermostat can automatically make those adjustments for you, and efficiently get your home’s temperature back to normal before you arrive back home.
An EPB Energy Pro will inspect your home and work with you to identify the improvements that will benefit you most. If you qualify, you can receive up to $10,000 in FREE energy upgrades, including:
Modern, energy-efficient appliances
New heating and cooling system or repairs
Tankless or energy-efficient water heater
New doors or windows
Fresh insulation for floors, ceiling or walls
Sealed air leaks
For legal reasons pertaining to your safety and the safety of the Home Uplift team, there are certain types of damage that can disqualify a home from energy-saving upgrades. Your EPB Energy Pro will inspect your home and let you know if your home has damage that affects its eligibility.
Consolidated incentives and other program changes will be available no later than October 31, 2025.
Qualified contractors can receive a credit of $2,000 for a home that is certified to have an annual level of heating and cooling energy consumption at least 50% below that of a comparable home. It also must include building envelope component improvements that account for at least 1/5 of the 50% reduction in energy consumption.
This step is not required, and your rebate will not be delayed if you receive a follow-up visit. We do recommend a FREE EPB Energy ProsSM Quality Assurance Checkup however, to ensure work was done right by the contractor you chose. Plus, customers who choose a EPB Energy Pros Quality Assurance Checkup will receive replacement LED light bulbs throughout their home at no charge!

Typically a “Net Zero Energy” home refers to a residence that utilizes onsite renewable energy generation, such as solar energy, to offset its energy use. The EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide simply recommends solar energy to help offset energy use. For homebuilders and homeowners interested in rooftop solar, EPB Energy Pros can consult with them to determine if a solar panel installation is the right option for a particular home and even review contractor estimates so they get the best solution. Or, customers may utilize EPB’s Solar Share community solar as a cost-effective and convenient way to utilize solar energy to offset the energy use they use without installing solar panels on a home.

Because of our Smart Grid technology, EPB is able to detect real-time changes in your daily consumption of electric power based on your average daily consumption. This alert can help you detect any issues with components like heating and air units, water heaters, appliances, etc.
For current Solar Share participants: Charges will appear the month after you sign up with credits appearing the month after that. For example, if you contact EPB and sign up on July 15 for a panel, you will see the CHARGE on your AUGUST invoice (the next month and all following months). The CREDIT will appear on your SEPTEMBER invoice (approximately 2 months after you sign up and all following months). Why? During the first month after your purchase, your panel is generating electricity. That generation is accumulated throughout the month and then credited on your next bill. If a customer opts for the multi-year license, this is a one-time only charge.

By accepting electric service from EPB Energy, you agree to comply with all Rates, Rules, Regulations, Policies and Procedures that exist at the time service is started. This includes, but is not limited to, obligation to pay for any electric service provided to you by EPB Energy. Failure to abide by EPB Energy’s Rates, Rules, Regulations, Policies and Procedures may cause your electric service to be disconnected. You further agree to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, associated with the collection of any unpaid amounts for electric service received by you from EPB Energy. Your obligation upon acceptance of service from EPB Energy is subject to any future amendments or modifications to the Rates, Rules, Regulations, Policies and Procedures.
If you are replacing two existing electric units with qualifying models, you can receive rebates for both. Your EPB Energy Pro and your Quality Contractor Network contractor can help you ensure that you are working within the guidelines of the program and meet the requirements for each HVAC rebate. Additionally, you can also earn an additional $300 rebate for sealing, repairing, insulating or repairing your HVAC’s ductwork.
A TVA-preferred air source heat pump is any heat pump that meets certain minimum standards for energy efficiency. In addition to replacing an existing electric heat source, a new, all-electric heat pump must have a minimum SEER2 rating of 15.2 for cooling and an HSPF2 rating of 8.1 for heating. It must also have a variable speed compressor (excluding two-stage compressors), and the system should produce 100% of rated heating capacity without backup heat at 17 degrees outdoor temperature. Cooling capacity cannot exceed 125% of cooling load at design conditions. The system must be installed by a manufacturer-certified installer who participates in our Quality Contractor Network. And finally, the installer must provide a Manual J Calculation 8th edition with their project submission in order to qualify for EPB and TVA EnergyRight® Home Energy Rebates. EPB Energy Pros can help you better understand these requirements.
We review contractors who provide top-quality services and have the required certifications and licenses. We also hire a third-party inspection service to assess the renovations after they are complete. Another factor we take into consideration when selecting services is how their availability fits in with your timeline and the outlined schedule.
Builders will have six months from May 1, 2025 to submit home completion/ rebate documentation and register the incentives.
Just call us at 423-648-1372 anytime day or night for billing assistance.
As more and more homebuyers look for energy efficient homes, Zero Energy homes will give homebuilders and existing homeowners a sales advantage over traditionally-built homes.

In keeping with TVA’s rebate transition schedule, EPB will plan to have an updated Smart Build program available in
Fall/ Winter 2025.
EPB residential customers, both homeowners and renters, can take advantage of EPB & TVA EnergyRight® Home Energy Rebates for qualifying energy efficiency improvements. If you are a renter, at some point in the process you will be asked to co-sign a Participation Agreement with the owner of your home to ensure that all measures are agreed upon by both parties, and that both contractors and EPB Energy Pros are allowed on the premise to complete work as needed. In addition, some community organizations may be eligible.
Yes. In addition to your refrigerator, they are the most energy-hungry appliances in any home. Always set washer and dryer controls for the load size. Hot water heating accounts for 90% of the energy your washing machine uses, so washing clothes in cold water can save more than $40 annually. And, saving 15 minutes of drying time per load can save up to $34 a year. Plus, a 10-minute shower uses 5 gallons less hot water than filling up a bathtub. Lowering your water heater’s thermostat to 120°F provides plenty of hot water and saves energy. And, installing low-flow shower heads can wash away up to $145 in energy costs each year.
To report a broken street light, contact us by online chat, email or phone anytime day or night.
Nearly 45% of your annual energy use comes from heating and cooling your home. Therefore, showing the outside temperature and usage on the same chart helps you understand how the weather affects your energy bills.
In the MyEPB online portal you can manage your account information, pay your bills, see your usage history and much, much more.
The home you build should meet the minimum requirements as outlined by the IRS here. An EPB Energy Pro will perform a site visit at your completed home to perform a HERS rating and then send the results off to a third-party certifier for verification. For a fee of $350, we’ll also provide you with this documentation to file with the IRS for the tax credit. You’ll need to complete the necessary forms and documentation and have your home certified.
Power bills vary depending on the amount of electric power you use. Weather plays the biggest role in your electric bill since your HVAC unit is one of your home's biggest energy users. In the milder months of spring and fall, you are more likely to use less energy than in the colder and hotter months of the winter or summer.
EPB Energy Pros can visit your home and perform a free home energy checkup at any time. Please call 423-648-1372 to schedule your visit.
EPB Solar Share is currently sold out due to popular demand. Sign up for email updates to be among the first to hear about new renewable energy projects.
For current Solar Share participants, there are several options. You can buy a multi-year license for a one-time payment of $578 per solar panel, plus a $10 annual maintenance fee per panel in exchange for a monthly bill credit equal to the generation of the total number of panels licensed. Panel licenses can be sold back to EPB at any time for a depreciated rate. You can lease month to month for $3.50 per panel per month, you will receive a monthly bill credit equal to the generation of the total number of panels you select. This low-cost option can be cancelled at any time.
If you’re building a home, renovating a home or simply making home improvements, you can follow EPB’s Zero Energy Resource Guide recommendations. Some of the recommendations need to be considered early in the homebuilding process, but some can be adopted as renovations or home improvements are made. However, any of the Zero Energy recommendations you follow will help make your home more energy efficient and can improve air quality.
When power disruptions occur, EPB's Automated Grid jumps into action. Its automated, intuitive design monitors power delivery and reroutes it around problems areas in seconds when a problem is detected. You benefit from drastically reduced outages, maximum uptime and increased productivity.
Yes. Only professionals who are part of the Quality Contractor Network are approved by EPB and TVA to complete home energy projects that qualify for EPB and TVA EnergyRight® Home Energy Rebates. Contractors can always register to become part of the network.
Please call (423) 648-1372 and an EPB representative will be happy to help you.
You must choose vendors who participate in the Quality Contractor Network and have been approved by EPB and TVA to complete home energy projects that qualify for EPB and TVA EnergyRight® Home Energy Rebates. Contractors can always register to become part of the network here.
Not at this time. While some of the EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide recommendations are similar to those of the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home program, they are not meant to satisfy certification requirements of that level. The EPB Zero Energy Resource Guide simply provides recommendations for building an efficient, healthy home as cost-effectively as possible based on best practices here in our own community. The DOE Zero Energy Ready Home program requirements are significantly higher than our recommendations. Visit https://www.energy.gov/eere/buildings/zero-energy-ready-home-program to learn more.
Restoring your power is our number one priority. The Smart Grid does an exceptional job of instantly restoring power and averting potential outages, but sometimes outages do occur. However, when the Smart Grid system is disrupted by downed trees and power lines and failed equipment, we must dispatch crews of linemen to restore your power manually.
More than 600 EPB customers in Chattanooga have received up to $10,000 in energy-efficient upgrades. After receiving these upgrades, they reported an average of $400 in energy savings, fewer allergy symptoms and illnesses, and better breathing and sleep quality.
Although your EPB Energy Pros will not perform the upgrades, we will work hand-in-hand with you and licensed contractors to ensure a timely, high-quality installation process. We also use a third-part inspection service to check the quality of the improvements after they are complete.
All residential rebates will be listed under the “Residential Services” rebate category, and more details about qualifying homes will be made by October 1, 2025.

Yes. EPB’s guidelines include Solar Analysis & Support to help customers offset their home’s energy use using renewable energy. Our recommendations may include leasing panels from EPB’s Solar Share program as a cost-effective way to utilize solar without having to install solar panels on their home. And, for homebuilders and homeowners interested in rooftop solar, EPB Energy Pros will consult with them to determine if a solar panel installation is the right option for a particular home and even review contractor estimates so they get the best solution.
Restoring your power is our number one priority. We ask that you please be patient. We’re working hard to restore everyone's power as soon as possible. You can keep track of outage restorations, report an outage, and more on the free MyEPB app.
Yes. Pre-Pay Power enables you to set up an account with an initial $50 payment to be applied against future power use. With Pre-Pay Power, you pay for power before you use it – like putting gas in your car. Add funds to your account 24 hours a day, and receive alerts when your balance is low. With the Pre-Pay Power option, there are no late fees, no disconnect fees, no security deposit and no surprise bills. However, initial connection fees do still apply.

You can either help your housemate fill out the application or ask them to provide proof of consent.
Because of many factors, TVA’s power rates fluctuate. One factor is TVA’s total monthly fuel cost, which is a mechanism used to recover the cost of fuel (like coal and natural gas) needed to generate power. The total monthly fuel cost is also used to cover the cost of purchasing power outside the TVA service area.
EPB receives funding from grants and TVA to pay for the Home Uplift program, which supports our mission to help our community thrive, promote equity and reduce financial barriers that prevent customers from making upgrades that improve energy efficiency and comfort.
Make sure attic insulation thickness is an R-30 rating (11” of fiberglass or rock wool or 8” of cellulose). Prevent air leaks by sealing gaps around door and window frames with weather stripping and caulk. Close fireplace dampers and glass doors to prevent warm air from flying out the chimney. And, turn down the thermostat when you have a fire burning.
Our Third-Party Notification program helps you avoid service disconnections by having another person, such as a friend or family member, receive copies of bills and other important notices such as disconnect notices.

Each outage is unique, but in general, our engineers and crews use well-established practices to put the safety and wellbeing of our community first. In addition to reviewing recommendations created by our Smart Grid, we send teams to assess the damage throughout our community and create an efficient plan that makes sense based on the difficulty of the repairs and what resources are available. We also consider which areas of the community are most at risk without access to electricity. For example, medical facilities tend to take priority over recreational facilities, and so forth. However, this is a complex issue that takes a lot of logistical calculations and considerations to tackle — and what matters most for us is taking care of our community.
