About <strong>Knoxville</strong><br />
<strong>Knoxville</strong> has been the hub of east Tennessee since its founding in 1791. The best of its Appalachian heritage<br />
remains today - a strong work ethic, a family-centered community and an intense respect for the natural<br />
beauty that surrounds the region.<br />
While <strong>Knoxville</strong>’s roots run deep, it remains at the core of the electric power industry for the future and the<br />
technology-based world of business. <strong>Knoxville</strong> boasts of more than its history:<br />
One of the country’s five national labs<br />
sits in <strong>Knoxville</strong>’s backyard in Oak<br />
Ridge.<br />
The main campus of the University<br />
of Tennessee is home to nationally<br />
acclaimed schools of engineering,<br />
business and law, as well as, the state’s<br />
favorite pastime, UT Football.<br />
Seventeen additional colleges and<br />
training programs in the region produce<br />
a ready supply of trained workers.<br />
All these organizations feed the<br />
strong entrepreneurial spirit found in<br />
<strong>Knoxville</strong>.<br />
<strong>Knoxville</strong> is not a secret. The area has been recognized by<br />
national lifestyle and business magazines as a fantastic place<br />
to live and work. Some of those rankings include: • Forbes<br />
magazine, Best Places for Business & Career – ranked #5<br />
• Expansion Management magazine, America’s 50 Hottest<br />
Cities for Business Relocation & Expansion – ranked #9<br />
• Places Rated Almanac Millenium Edition,Best Place to Live<br />
for cities under 1 million population – ranked #1<br />

The <strong>Knoxville</strong>-Oak Ridge Region in the center of the Eastern US at the junction of 3 major interstate highways.<br />
An ideal location for the movement of people and goods, the region is within a day’s drive of 75% of<br />
the U.S. marketplace.<br />
Many regional businesses take advantage of this strategic location to implement just-in-time delivery<br />
practices. A major intersection for air, motor, rail and waterway transportation, the region is a prime location<br />
for both domestic<br />
and international<br />
commerce.<br />
Utilities<br />
The municipal and<br />
cooperative distributors<br />
of the Tennessee Valley<br />
Authority (TVA)<br />
supply electricity in<br />
The <strong>Knoxville</strong>-Oak<br />
Ridge-Smoky Mountains Region.<br />
Industrial electricity rates in the region are: 12.5% below the national average.<br />
Commercial electricity rates are 15% below the national average.<br />
Residential rates are 22% below the national average.<br />
TVA is the largest public power producer in the nation, serving more than 8.3 million people, and is among<br />
the most reliable. TVA has never dropped firm load to any industrial customer in its history and has a<br />
reliability rate of 99.999%, the highest in the nation. TVA generates 152 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity<br />
annually, or enough power to meet the needs of nearly 10 million homes. TVA also manages the Tennessee<br />
River, the nation’s fifth-largest river system. The Tennessee Valley: Prepared for Future Demand<br />
Demand is forecasted to exceed generating capacity in many areas of the US by mid decade. Kiplinger<br />
reports that the West Coast, Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and some Midwestern cities will be vulnerable.<br />
The Southeast US is one area in the country that will have ample power supply.<br />
This area is also known as the Tennessee Technology corridor (http://archive.knoxmpc.org/plans/nwcnty/15_<br />
ttcda.htm) which is also the home of many other technology companies – most notably the Electric Power<br />
Research Institutes (EPRI) <strong>Knoxville</strong> location – only a half mile away from our new offices. EPRI’s<br />
<strong>Knoxville</strong> Office provides an integrated portfolio of Research, Development, Application and Services to<br />
the entire power industry value chain... from generation through transmission and distribution to end-use.<br />
<strong>EnerNex</strong> partners with EPRI on various projects, most notably the EPRI IntelliGrid.
