Hopkinsville Electric

HES purchases all of its electricity from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). This is fortunate because TVA provides some of the most affordable electricity in the U.S. In addition, HES has some of the most affordable electric rates in the western Kentucky region. All HES electric rates must be approved by TVA, who serves as the regulatory agency for HES.

If you'd like a little more nighttime lighting around your home or business, HES gives you the opportunity to have pole-mounted security lighting installed for a nominal installation fee and a fixed monthly charge. Depending on the lighting needs, HES can provide a standard security light or a floodlight. Both light types are also available in different wattage for different levels of brightness.

Contractors or customers requiring electric service on a temporary basis are required by HES to pay all costs (see below) for connection and disconnection incidental to the supplying and removing of service. This rule applies to circuses, carnivals, fairs, temporary construction, etc. To install temporary service, complete and submit the application below. A member of the HES Engineering department will contact you for further details.

As a service to HES customers who have rental properties, we allow connections/disconnections by phone, fax or email. This allows you to put the property's electric account into your name, or take the property's electric account out of your name by contacting us, rather than requiring a visit to our office as is normally required for these actions.

At Energynet, our goal is to provide affordable internet service to all Hopkinsville residents. Because it is necessary to install a small wireless receiver on the outside of a residence (see photos below), for rental properties, we want landlords to be informed of what is involved to install the service.
