"Crews repaired my insulation and replaced my hot water heater. Prior to the renovations, it was drafty and cold, but winter times are now much warmer. It helped a lot and couldn’t have come at a better time." - Esther

"I told my church members that the Home Uplift program is a gift from God. God is using this program to help people who can’t afford these upgrades, so I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t want to do it. It doesn’t cost you anything." - Francis

"I feel the difference the Home Uplift Program has made in my pockets and in the comfort of my home. After my experience, I went door to door to spread the word about Home Uplift, and since then more people on my block have applied and received the same benefits." - Sonya

Tennessee law authorizes municipal electric utilities to deploy programs in which utility bills are rounded up to the next dollar when the funds are used for economic development or community assistance purposes. On December 1, 2020, the Davidson County Metro Council unanimously passed, and Nashville Mayor John Cooper signed a resolution asking the Electric Power Board to establish an opt-out bill round-up program for weatherization initiatives. The proposal was approved by the NES Board on December 16, 2020. To opt-out of the program, log into your NES account at NESPower.com or call 615-736-6900 and follow the prompts.
