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).
Its last case adds about $5 a month. Recent decisions are below. See every case in Tennessee, or get an alert when the next one 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.
