As a local electric cooperative, our consumers are member-owner in their cooperative. Administration and governance are more important and scrutinized topics today than ever before. Your electric cooperative is proud of its unique governance model and the administration designated to operate within it. We strive to keep our members informed of relevant information and updates while taking seriously our responsibility to keep the data of our members private and secure. Though often assumed to be a public entity, MTE is a private business that services a specific set of members.
MTE began more than 80 years ago to electrify a few hundred rural homes, farms, and towns and has evolved to become one of the largest electric cooperatives in the country. Our territory serves hundreds of thousands of middle Tennesseans with an electric system spanning thousands of miles. Our engineering team's responsibility is to design and expand our system to provide affordable, reliable, and safe electricity as we continue to grow.
