EPB of Chattanooga, Tennessee, is one of the largest publicly owned providers of electric power in the country. Established in 1935, EPB covers about 600 square miles and serves about 170,000 customers in Tennessee and Georgia. Chattanooga is making its distribution system more robust while improving operations with the deployment of smart grid technologies which will allow EPB to provide continued reliable electric service and respond more effectively to severe weather events, which are frequent in the Southeast.
