New Requirements for Customer-Owned Generation
- Everyone’s safety is our top priority.
- Customer generation like back-up generators and solar panels can be an excellent choice.
- Improperly installed grid-tied systems can pose risks, even life-threatening ones.
- It’s important to communicate with Dickson Electric System (DES) about grid-tied systems to ensure safety for workers and your property.
Customer Generation
- Dickson Electric System sources all customer energy from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
- TVA emphasizes cleaner generation, with 14% from renewables and 56% carbon-free sources.
- TVA’s clean generation reduces the need for individual renewable energy generation or purchases.
- Despite TVA’s clean focus, DES encourages customer renewable energy options.
- DES supports various choices, whether purchasing all electricity from DES or using renewables.
- DES is available to help with your energy decisions.
