We’ll be hosting another series of in-person sessions this summer for LPCs to discuss TVA EnergyRight programs, performance and upcoming changes for FY25. Be on the lookout for a Customer Connection soon with more details and registration information.

TVA EnergyRight and the Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) have partnered to conduct a virtual open house for federal agencies located in the Valley Region to learn about TVA offerings focused on achieving federal energy goals.

This is a great opportunity to support federal facilities in your area to help them thrive and grow. We encourage representatives from regional federal agencies, LPCs and support contractors to attend this virtual event scheduled for July 16, 2024, 10:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. ET. 

We're hosting an insightful panel discussion where industry leaders will reveal how engaging employees in energy-saving initiatives can unlock significant savings. Invite your customers to register using the link below.

TVA is now offering turnkey support for Regions On-Bill Financing to enrolled LPCs. Turnkey on-bill financing support consists of loan origination assistance including application intake, loan coordination, UCC1 filing and inspections. Any LPC previously offering off-bill financing can contact their ESC to enroll in Regions On-Bill Financing to continue offering energy efficiency loans for their customers.

The updated on-bill loan application is now available on Valley Connect (Programs > Residential > EnergyRight Finance) on June 20, 2024.

If you have any questions or need information about financing options, please contact your ESC.

Encourage contractors from your area to become members of our Quality Contractor and Preferred Partners Networks!

The Quality Contractor Network (QCN) installs residential energy upgrades and offers participating contractors customer leads and access to TVA EnergyRight rebates and financing for customers.

If your LPC territory is near a major highway or travel corridor and you’re interested in participating in the Fast Charge Network, please contact your ESC.

This summer, we are encouraging Valley residents to turn down the lights, give the oven a night off and leave personal devices inside – so they can get out and enjoy the summer nights! The Summer Nights sweepstakes will run June 24th - August 4th. Residents can enter to win one of two grand prize packages (worth $600) or weekly prizes by completing the DIY Home Energy Assessment or a Home Energy Evaluation. LPC employees are also eligible to enter.

TVA EnergyRight will advertise the sweepstakes via paid social media ads, radio streaming messages, listserv emails and digital display ads. 

You can find cobranded social media assets to promote the sweepstakes on the Marketing Hub. 

From May 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, we have increased the rebate for attic insulation projects to $500 and increased QCN contractor rewards for attic insulation projects to $100. Proper insulation provides a great energy savings value to the grid and a more comfortable and energy-efficient home for participants.

Three cheers for EPB and NES, our Q3 cobranding champions, for partnering to spread the word about our programs!

Nashville Electric Service shared about our energy efficiency programs and services at an Earth Day event in Centennial Park.

Available on a first-come first-served basis, we're offering cobranded 30-second commercials for LPC partners to utilize on their channels.

Each commercial will feature a custom voice-over referencing your LPC by name and a visual end card with your logo.

We are also producing cobranded pull-up banners advertising the DIY Home Energy Assessment for LPC partners to utilize in their lobbies or at community events.
