  • Credit Check - An instant credit check with a credit bureau at no expense to the customer.

Welcome Box Program

Every month an average of 1,300 new residents move to the Music City. By signing up for electricity with NES, you're connecting to the "Power of Greater Nashville." 

Please accept a Welcome Box as a gesture of our gratitude and appreciation when you sign up for service at our main office.  It contains helpful information and products that make moving a little less stressful.
