How NES’s plans work

RS (Residential Service, 500–2,000 kWh a month). One price per kWh at every hour: 11.8¢ in July and 11.4¢ in January. Shifting use to other hours changes nothing on this plan; using less is the only lever. Fixed charge: $24.29 a month.

Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.

As a cross-check, NES billed its residential customers an average of 13.47¢ per kWh in 2024 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for Tennessee’s price change since.
