This service is completely free and confidential. Why can’t EPB give electricity away for free to people in need? As a community-based utility, EPB is legally required to treat all customers fairly and consistently.

That means we can’t waive or forgive charges for one customer without doing the same for everyone since not charging some means shifting costs to other customers. As part of our mission to serve the whole community, we work hard to deliver very reliable services at the best possible value while covering the real expenses (like poles, power lines, and substations) necessary to deliver electricity to every local home and business.

I can’t afford to pay my bill. What is EPB doing to help? As a company and through individual employee giving, EPB supports United Way of Greater Chattanooga and other local non-profits that provide emergency support for people in need.

We also invite our customers to join us by donating through PowerShare to help cover the cost for customers who are struggling. If you’re having difficulties paying your bill, we’ll work with you individually to make flexible payment arrangements and connect you with community assistance. Please call us, (423) 648-1372.
