CAREERS AT NES

Generation Partners

TVA offers incentives for residential and commercial customers to help increase the supply of renewable energy in the Tennessee Valley. Generation Partners provides technical support and incentives for homes and businesses that generate their own renewable power.

Eligibility Requirements

Solar, wind, biomass and low-impact hydropower are eligible for the program.
The size limit is 50 kW or less (effective Sept. 2011)
NES works directly with Generation Partners customers.

How It Works

TVA buys all of the green power you generate at a rate of 12 cents per kilowatt-hour for solar and 3 cents per kilowatt-hour for other renewables above the local electric rate. The payment is made in the form of a credit on your monthly NES bill.

*Note: Please do not order any project materials (panels, inverters, etc.) until TVA approves your Participation Agreement. Locate a Generation Partners Contractor.

The startup incentive for customers to help offset installation costs is $1,000. You may also qualify for federal tax credits. To learn more, visit TVA Generation Partners.
