Preferred Partners Network
The Preferred Partners Network (PPN) is a master list of trade allies and energy services companies. These partners are qualified to supply technologies and equipment that deliver high-quality energy efficiency and demand response results. TVA maintains this list and makes the network available as an independent service for power distributors to share with their customers. The PPN can be a valuable asset when project assistance is needed for equipment purchases, design, and implementation.
Benefits of PPN membership
