and adapting to the changing market, pioneering new technological innovations and clean energy advancements.
“ In 2025, our teams are embracing innovation even more than ever. Our focus on grid modernization and improving customer experience through improved operations, system reliability, and customer solutions will shape the remainder of the year and set the stage for years to come,” Teresa reveals.“ Enhancements in technology will continue to improve the way our coworkers serve our customers, and NES will continue to evolve along with the utility industry. We will use our learnings from a partnership with NREL and Oak Ridge National Labs where we are developing a digital twin of our system. This will give us the ability to analyze real time impacts of new technologies on our system and better plan for system growth and electrification, as well as where to deploy new technologies. Lastly, we recently upgraded our system operations control room to allow us to integrate distribution energy resources( DERS), as we see virtual power plants likely becoming more common.
“ NES sits at the intersection of growth and innovation in Nashville. We are constantly investing in infrastructure to stay ahead of the region’ s growth,” Teresa finishes.“ We’ ve built a new substation to help power the downtown area and are in the process of constructing another. We are also in the middle of a major streetlight overhaul with our partner, Path Company, to install LED lighting across the city. Bottom line: we are constantly thinking about better ways to power Music City and improve the overall experience for our customers.” ■
