Chattanooga’s EPB may be in the business of selling electricity, but the municipal utility is touting its success in aiding its customers to use less power through its energy audits and assistance programs.
Last year, EPB helped its customers adopt measures to save 15.6 million kiowatthours of electricity usage, making Chattanooga’s municipal utility the number one local power company across the Tennessee Valley Authority seven-state region when it comes to efficient electrification across all TVA EnergyRight programs.
Among the 153 local power companies in the TVA service territory, EPB was named a top performer in 12 categories of helping residential and business customers save money and energy through the TVA EnergyRight program, which helps pay for energy audits by local power companies that distribute TVA power.
“TVA thanks EPB for helping customers embrace the changing energy industry, change their consumption habits and learn about new technologies,” Cindy Herron, vice president of TVA EnergyRight., said in a new report for 2021.
EPB was also the number one local power company valley-wide for helping its industrial customers convert 11.4 million kilowatt-hours away from fossil fuels and toward smart energy technologies through the TVA EnergyRight for Industry Smart Energy Technologies program.
