Energy Star

Middle Tennessee Electric was the first electric utility in the state of Tennessee to become an Energy Star partner. Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy, designed to help citizens and businesses save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.

MTEMC, through its Energy Star partnership, offers a number of benefits to members who make energy-efficient choices.

New Homes
MTEMC pays cash incentives for home builders – from a major developer to someone building their own home – who take the appropriate energy efficient steps in construction.

Water Heating
MTEMC pays cash incentives for members choosing to power their water heater with electricity.

Heat-and-Air systems
A loan program is available for purchasing a system and incentives are available for energy-efficient systems.
