Reduce energy use to save electricity and money.

The weather affects your electric bills more than any other factor in the summer and winter. When it's very hot or cold, your heating and air system uses more energy to keep your home comfortable and raises your energy bills.

At MTE, we want to help our members use energy wisely. As a not-for-profit electric cooperative owned by our members, MTE residential members pay electric rates more than 25% below the national average.

TVA's Fuel Cost Adjustment

Although MTE works hard to keep our rates low, monthly bills may vary due to increases or decreases in the TVA Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) from TVA, the co-op’s power provider. TVA uses the FCA to help manage fluctuations in the costs of the fuels it uses to generate electricity, and those costs are passed on to distribution utilities like MTE each month.

MTE's nighttime rate is an optional rate for residential members. It provides a lower energy rate during off-peak hours which allows participating members to save money by shifting energy use to off-peak times.

When severe weather arrives, can MTE and emergency services contact you?

It is important to plan for unavoidable emergencies. One way you can prepare is by keeping your contact information up-to-date so that we can alert you about potential outages or safety issues due. Members are encouraged to sign up for alerts from their local emergency management agencies. In times of crisis, getting accurate and timely information can help you stay safe.

MoneyGram is a money transfer/bill payment service that is available at multiple retail locations in MTE’s service territory. Paying your bill through MoneyGram is as simple as filling out a form and submitting it along with your cash payment to the cashier. The payment will apply to your MTE account almost instantly.
