Stories
The people and places behind your co-op
Middle Tennessee Electric serves more than a quarter-million homes and businesses, and every one of them has a story. Here you’ll find ours: members putting solar on the barn, linemen working through an ice storm, students heading to Washington on a co-op scholarship, and small towns that grew alongside the lines we built. Some of these stories first appeared in The Tennessee Magazine or on our Plugged In podcast. Others start right here.
