City-owned utility (City of Memphis - (TN)), regulated by the Tennessee Public Utility Commission. The average Tennessee home pays about $143 a month for electricity (EIA, 2024).
Increases approved in the last 12 months add up to about $5 a month on a typical bill. Recent decisions are below, and the alert will tell you when the next case is filed.
MLGW is a municipal utility that buys its power from TVA, so its base rates are set by Memphis City Council rather than a state commission, and large customers like xAI are billed under MLGW's own commercial and industrial rate schedules, separate from residential rates.
Rate cases are decided by the Tennessee Public Utility Commission, which takes written comments on every docket and holds public hearings on the big ones. Comment deadlines and hearing dates are on each case page above when we have them. The office that argues for households in these cases is the Tennessee Attorney General, Consumer Advocate Division; its filings are the plain-English version of the utility's numbers.
One email when a rate case is filed, gets a hearing date, or is decided for Memphis Light, Gas and Water. Nothing else.
