We appreciate your patience. NES and contracted lineworkers and vegetation management teams are working to repair damage caused by Winter Storm Fern and will work 24/7 until all power is restored. For latest information on restoration status see My Outage Tracker: Residential Service Status.

Storm Safety

Prioritize your safety. 

  • Downed power lines: Always assume downed lines are energized and dangerous — stay away and report them immediately by calling 615-234-0000 or 911.
  • Generator safety: Never use generators indoors and never connect a generator directly to home wiring without proper transfer equipment.
  • Carbon Monoxide: Know the signs of CO poisoning and take precautions to remain safe
  • Heating safety: Never use ovens, grills, or outdoor heating devices to heat your home.

What to Expect

Crews are working in environments where energized power lines may be concealed beneath layers of ice and snow. As damage assessments continue, workers are replacing broken utility poles, reattaching downed and damaged wires, and repairing or replacing equipment that supports power lines.

If you don’t see crews working nearby, they may be repairing another part of the system that must be restored before power can safely reach your home.
For safety reasons, customers are asked not to approach workers at job sites, as these areas can be dangerous, and interruptions may slow restoration progress.

Be Ready

Power Restoration & Safety Information

Make sure your home or business is ready for us to restore your power. Customers whose neighborhoods have been restored but who are still without power may have damage to electrical equipment attached to their home or business.

If weatherheads, power masts, or meter bases are damaged, our lineworkers cannot safely reconnect power. NES maintains and repairs the lines leading to a customer’s home, but homeowners are responsible for the equipment on the house.

Customer Safety and Community Resources

Customers should continue to prioritize safety while outages persist.

  • Warming centers: Customers in need of shelter and warmth should consider local warming centers or shelters if it is safe to travel. To find a listing of available warming centers, visit Metro’s Warming Locations page or TN Department of Military Sheltering page.
  • Road conditions: Please be aware that roads may be hazardous or closed during restoration efforts. Road conditions and closure information can be found here from Tennessee Department of Transportation.
  • To support restoration efforts, TEMA continues to focus on clearing downed trees and debris to restore access for utility crews, emergency responders, and the public. To request assistance call 844-965-1386.

A huge thank you to the local restaurants and businesses that have stepped up to fuel our crews as they work through the freezing temperatures to restore power across Nashville. Your support keeps our teams going during these long days and nights.
