Dyersburg Electric System



Since 1902, Dyersburg Electric System has proudly served the Dyersburg community, starting with the purchase of a light and water plant. In 1957, DES partnered with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to provide affordable, reliable electricity at wholesale rates. Today, DES remains committed to delivering safe, reliable, and competitively priced energy solutions. As a municipally owned utility, we promote growth, economic development, and efficient energy use. Governed by a five-member board, DES continues to provide exceptional service to meet the needs of Dyersburg’s residents and businesses.
Today, Dyersburg Electric System honors Juneteenth National Independence Day — a time to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States and celebrate the meaning of freedom.
Our office is closed today, June 19, in observance of the holiday. We will reopen with regular hours tomorrow.

☀️ No/Low Cost Ways to Lower Your Electric Bill This Summer 💡
• 🌡️ Turn your thermostat to 75–78° F. Don’t pay to keep your home cool when no one is home, turn it up even more when no one is home.
• 🛠️ Tune up your air conditioning system. Having your cooling system cleaned and inspected will keep your system running as efficiently as possible.
• 🧼 Change your filter monthly, clean filters allow your system to run more efficiently. A good reminder to change your filter is your monthly electric bill.
• 🪟 Keeping curtains closed on windows facing the sun during the day will reduce the heating effect of the sun.
• 🚪 Caulk and weatherstrip around doors and windows to prevent air leaks.
• 🍽️ Use the microwave or outside grill to reduce the heating effect of cooking indoors.
• 🔵 Using ceiling fans allows you to raise your thermostat temperature with no reduction in comfort. Raising the temperature by 2° can reduce air conditioning costs by as much as 14% but remember to turn them off when you leave the room; ceiling fans cool you not the room. ... See MoreSee Less
