⚡ From the office to the field!⚡
Last Christmas season, our Corporate Office brought in the most toys for our Toys for Tots donation drive, earning the team the chance to vote for a member of our leadership team to take on a job outside their usual day-to-day duties. By majority vote, Scott Sims, Vice President of Finance & Member Services, traded his office for a bucket truck and became a lineman for a day! 👏
With guidance from our lineworkers and our Safety Coordinator on site, Scott got a hands-on look at the work our crews do every day to keep the lights on for our members. All lines were confirmed grounded and de-energized, keeping safety at the forefront throughout the experience.
At Southwest Tennessee Electric, this is what it’s all about: people and safety. It’s about learning from one another, understanding the work happening across our cooperative, and making sure every employee has the knowledge and support they need to do their job safely. No matter our role, we’re all working toward the same goal: serving our members and taking care of one another.
We’re thankful for a team that gives back, looks out for each other, and is always willing to learn something new. And we’re glad Scott was a good sport! ⚡💚 ...

We’ve had some seriously hot weather this summer, and as electric bills from those hot weeks start arriving, you may notice higher energy use than usual.
When temperatures climb into the upper 90s — and especially when they reach 100° or more — your air conditioner has to work much harder to keep your home comfortable. The greater the difference between the temperature outside and your thermostat setting, the more energy it takes to cool your home.
For example, when it’s 100° outside and your thermostat is set to 68°, your cooling system is working to overcome a 32-degree temperature difference.
So, if your bill looks a little different than expected, the extreme temperatures we experienced can be a big part of the picture. This graphic helps explain why those really hot days can have a significant impact on energy use. ...
