Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation (UCEMC), in collaboration with the Tennessee Valley Authority, offers incentives for its customers to purchase and install energy efficient equipment through the Energy Right Program. Rebates are available for energy efficient heat pumps, water heaters and new homes which meet the program standards. A $150 rebate will be given to any customer installing a new heat pump in UCEMC's service area, either residential or commercial. Commercial accounts are eligible for a rebate of $150 for each 3 ton of heat pump. A $100 rebate will be paid to any commercial or residential customer installing an electric water heater in UCEMC's service area. The rebate will be given whether the heat pump or water heater is being installed for the first time or if it is replacing an old unit. The heat pump and water heater rebates will be given as a credit on customers' accounts.

Upper Cumberland EMC also hosts the Energy Efficient Heat Pump Loan Program and the Energy Right New Homes Program. Customers participating in the New Home Program can not receive rebates for water heaters or heat pumps from Upper Cumberland EMC.  

TVA offers the Energy Right Solutions Program to commercial and industrial facilities.  In addition to prescriptive rebates for lighting, motors, HVAC, and kitchen equipment, administrators take a custom baseline of pre-installation demand and compare to post installation measurements to determine the financial incentive amount in kilowatt-hour values. The incentives program is offered along with complimentary energy assessments and reviews to determine potential areas for savings. Customers can work with designers and installers to develop a project plan and complete a participation application form. Participants should receive a pre-installation incentive notification letter before removing any existing equipment.

Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW), in partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), offers a variety of energy efficient incentives to non-residential customers. The program provides rebates on a range of energy efficient equipment and measures for commercial and smaller industrial customers. Eligible customers include commercial customers on General Power Rate schedules and any customer on the Manufacturing Service Rate schedules with an effective demand of 5,000 kW or less. Eligible measures include upgrades to HVAC systems, lighting, food service equipment, refrigeration measures, motors and custom projects. MLGW will assist customers with the application and implementation process. 

Cookeville Electric Department, in collaboration with the Tennessee Valley Authority, offers an incentive for its residential customers to install energy efficient equipment through the energy right rebate program. Rebates are offered for qualifying heat pumps and water heaters. Eligible heat pumps must be installed by a member of the Quality Contractor Network. Cookeville customers are also eligible to be reimbursed for up to 50% of the cost, up to $500, of energy efficient measures suggested by the In-Home Energy Evaluation Program.  Through this program, energy audits of customers' homes are conducted by TVA-certified evaluators who identify and suggest energy saving oppurtunities and measures.  Customers participating in this program can also receive financing for approved projects.
