Three Mt. Juliet schools have received $45,000 in TVA School Uplift grants via Middle Tennessee Electric.
W.A. Wright Elementary, Mt. Juliet Elementary and Stoner Creek Elementary were named recipients of TVA grants used for energy and classroom upgrades. These grants help reduce the energy cost for the school districts.
On Tuesday, May 7, the Tennessee Valley Authority announced 98 schools across the Southeast region received more than $2.3 million in grants.
TVA’s School Uplift helps schools save about 10% on their energy bills. 
TVA has invested about $8.2 million and helped 323 schools save on their energy bills since 2021. Including energy saving upgrades, this year’s participants will save an estimated 5.5 GWh of energy.
“TVA and local power company partners are committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve through School Uplift,†Monika Beckner, vice president of TVA Energy Services and Programs said. “By reducing energy costs, we’re making more funds available for education and creating a better learning environment for students and teachers that helps give every child the opportunity to succeed.â€
Funding ranged from $10,000 to $200,000 and was awarded based on the score each school achieved by cutting their energy waste and engaging their school community, and a needs-based assessment that determined which facilities could achieve the greatest energy savings.
Wilson County Schools announced that W.A. Wright Elementary was awarded $25,000 and Mt. Juliet Elementary and Stoner Creek Elementary both received $10,000.
