Happy Birthday Metro District Energy System!
January 16, 2009
Mayor Karl Dean
On Friday, January 16, 2009, the Metro District Energy System celebrated its Five Year Anniversary of operations at the DES Plant with a reception to express appreciation to the DES customers. Mayor Karl Dean and other Metropolitan Government officials and Metro Council Members joined DES customers at the event.
Mayor Karl Dean recognized several individuals for their contribution over the past five years including DES Plant Manager Tim Hestle and Metro Project Administrator Harry Ragsdale of Thermal Engineering Group. Addressing those in attendance, Mayor Dean shared that Metro DES services have helped to lower the city of Nashville’s energy consumption and reduced the city’s electricity costs, and because the city decided to install additional future capacity when the plant was constructed, DES has been able to service new downtown developments. In doing so, the city's costs to support the DES system have been reduced, while at the same time reducing the capital investments of new developments.

“As we work to get new businesses to call Nashville home, these factors become increasingly important,” added Dean, “We want businesses to know that Nashville is among the leaders when it comes to offering greener, more efficient and cost friendly alternatives.”
Since 2003, DES has been responsible for providing heating and/or cooling of 39 downtown buildings with a reliability rating of more than 99 percent. Metro District Energy Systems will officially commemorate five years of service to customers in downtown Nashville on Dec. 16.
