From October 6-12, CDE Lightband and more than 2,000 other community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities are celebrating Public Power Week! As your locally owned and operated power company, we serve YOU, not private investors. We also play a key role in the local economy and work hard to attract and keep good careers for the folks in our community. Served by TVA, we manage our resources wisely so we can invest in the people, technology and equipment needed to keep reliability high and rates as low as possible. When natural disasters or extreme weather strikes, CDE Lightband works tirelessly to ensure your homes, your businesses and critical infrastructure have reliable power when it’s needed most.
