Energy Assistance

Project Help

Project Help provides emergency energy assistance to elderly, disabled and low-income customers who cannot afford to pay their electric bill.  The funds are administered by Big Brothers of Nashville, Inc.

You can contribute to Project Help by simply adding $1 or more to your monthly NES bill.  One-hundred percent of the contributions go directly to assist individuals with their heating bills.

Energy Ads

Energy Ads funds are distributed to three Nashville area non-profit agencies: Big Brothers of Nashville, Inc., Metro Action Commission, and Ladies of Charity.

You'll find these money-saving coupons right inside your electric bill each month.  By using Energy Ads, you are helping someone who otherwise couldn't afford to pay for electric service during the summer months.
