In AEC’s service area, many local residents often have to make the difficult decision to purchase groceries and medication or pay their electric bill. Project emPower was created to assist our neighbors by providing emergency assistance with their electric bill. This program benefits senior citizens and members with disabilities, in addition to families experiencing energy hardships. You can help this effort by adding $1 or more to your monthly electric bill. Contact us at 865-475-2032 ext. 1810 to sign up to participate in Project emPower. Thank you for empowering hope for our neighbors in need!
