Memphis Light, Gas and Water and District 7 Councilwoman Michalyn Easter-Thomas invite utility customers and constituents to a Power Hour Community Meeting on Thursday, July 20 at the Ed Rice Community Center, 2907 N. Watkins. Doors open at 5 p.m. for customers who would like to speak to a Customer Service Advisor for help with accounts and billing; Power Hour begins at 6 p.m.

MLGW leadership will be on-hand at Power Hour to talk about the supercell storms earlier this month and in June, the utility’s Customer Care Center and MLGW 2045.

MLGW 2045 is the utility’s plan to improve system resiliency and reliability, and to make MLGW a more agile organization. At a Power Hour Community Meeting in May MLGW President and CEO Doug McGowen told attendees “My commitment to you is that we’re going to move forward on this reliability and we’re always going to focus on being affordable.”

Memphis Light, Gas and Water is the largest three-service public power utility in the nation, serving the residents of Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee since 1939. MLGW consistently provides customers with rates that are amongst the lowest in the nation and stewards a water supply from artesian wells that is minimally treated. Actively engaged in promoting the prosperity of Memphis and Shelby County, MLGW supports the seven local chambers in its service area and makes doing business with local, minority- and women-owned business a priority. Deeply rooted in the community, its employees generously donate time and money in support of bettering the Greater Memphis area.
