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.
Yesterday was a big day for some of our local schools. Robby Richards from DES and representatives from TVA spent the day visiting classrooms to hand out STEM grant funds. It was so fun visiting with the teams at Dyersburg Intermediate School, Dyersburg High School, and Dyersburg Middle School!
It was great news because every school they visited ended up getting $5,000. These grants are actually pretty tough to get since schools from all over the valley apply for them, so it’s a big win for our teachers and students to have been chosen.
TVA is such a good partner to have here in Dyer County, and it’s nice to see that money going toward resources for the kids. ... See MoreSee Less

Last night, we got together to recognize something that means a lot to us at Dyersburg Electric System—our people.
We spent the evening celebrating employees who have given years of service to DES. The kind of people who show up, get the job done, and take care of our community—often behind the scenes.
That’s what DES is built on.
We’re thankful for each of them and proud to have them on our team. ... See MoreSee Less

We had some special visitors at Dyersburg Electric System this morning!
The Dyersburg High School Lady Trojans stopped by to share their championship trophy, and it was such a proud moment for our team to see what they’ve accomplished.
Even more special—Head Coach Tim Strayhorn has roots right here as a former DES lineman. It’s always great to see our community come full circle.
Congratulations to the Lady Trojans on an incredible season. We’re proud of you and appreciate you taking the time to stop by. ... See MoreSee Less
