IN OUR HOMETOWN WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN

At NES we understand that many of our customers often struggle to pay their power bill. If you find yourself in this situation, help is here. We encourage you to access this website anytime you need assistance. It contains the resources needed to best navigate your options for help with your NES bill.

Home Uplift

NES believes that one of the best ways to help our customers is by helping them lower their energy costs. That’s why we have partnered with TVA to bring Home Uplift to our community. The Home Uplift program doesn’t just provide savings on utility bills – it creates changes that improve the quality of life for the residents of the home, making it possible for them to stay in their homes safely, longer. Eligible homes will receive up to $10,000 in energy-saving upgrades such as insulation, duct sealing, low-flow shower heads and more.

Review the criteria and complete the application for an evaluation of your home. Single family homes as well as rented homes are eligible to participate in Home Uplift.
