Dyersburg Electric System

DES building

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.

We’re in the power business, but moms?
They’ve been lighting the way long before we showed up.

They are the light—the steady hands behind big choices and everyday moments. The ones who remember the details, hold the worries, and love with everything they’ve got. Whether their kids are learning to walk or learning to raise families of their own, moms never stop showing up.

From all of us at Dyersburg Electric—thank you. For the kind of power that can’t be measured in volts.

Happy Mother’s Day.
