NES Helps

The Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally funded grant program that helps keep families safe and healthy by assisting with energy costs, including home energy bills, energy crises, weatherization, and minor energy-related home repairs.

211 is a free, confidential service that helps people find the local resources they need in times of crisis and beyond.

Dial 211 or text your ZIP code to 898-211 to get started.

Project Help is a long-standing NES program that lets customers add a specific dollar amount to their monthly bill payment. NeedLink Nashville uses all collected funds to provide temporary utility bill assistance.

Nashville Metropolitan Action Commission (MAC) is a public, non‑profit community action agency that offers income-based utility bill assistance to Davidson County residents.  It also provides air conditioners and/or fans to residents with disabilities, the elderly, young children, or adults with medical conditions.

The Mid-Cumberland Community Action Agency assists families experiencing financial crisis. Contact the county outreach office in which you live for more information by calling 615-742-1113

Home Uplift

NES believes that one of the best ways to support our customers is by providing resources that help lower energy costs. That’s why we have partnered with TVA to bring Home Uplift to our community. The Home Uplift program doesn’t just reduce utility bills; it makes changes that improve residents' quality of life. Eligible homes can receive up to $10,000 in energy-saving upgrades, such as insulation, duct sealing, low-flow showerheads, and more.

Review the criteria and complete the application to have your home evaluated. Single-family homes and rental homes are eligible to participate in Home Uplift.

PREVENT POWER DISCONNECTION

NES issues a cutoff warning when you have an outstanding balance from the previous billing cycle. The improved bill design makes it easy to tell if you are behind. Past-due balances appear in a gold box under the total amount due. Most of the time, we can help you with a payment extension, so contact us right away. You can use our automated system to set it up quickly and easily.

If you need guidance, our Customer Relations Department is here for you. Made up of the most compassionate Nashvillians around, we want nothing more than to help you keep the power running in your home.
