Builders & developers

Building in Middle Tennessee? Start with MTE. 

Talking with MTE early in the process helps your project run more smoothly, whether you're building one home or planning a full subdivision or commercial site. Our construction standards are based on federal, state, and local guidelines and industry-best practices. They help make sure every new home and business gets safe, reliable power from day one. Before we schedule grid construction, developers sign MTE's right-of-way easement and pay construction fees. An easement is the legal right for MTE to place and maintain power lines and equipment on the property. Here, you'll find the standards, inspections, and builder resources your project needs.
