The Middle Tennessee Utility District of Cannon, Cumberland, DeKalb, Putnam, Rhea, Rutherford, Smith, Warren, White and Wilson Counties, Tennessee (Middle Tennessee Natural Gas or MTNG) was created in July, 1955 as a municipal corporation pursuant to the Utility District Act of 1937, to provide natural gas service to residents, businesses and industries within its boundaries.

Over 54,000 customers are served by Middle Tennessee Natural Gas in 120 communities in all or portions of 21 counties. We have over 125 employees trained and ready to meet the natural gas needs of our customers.

Middle Tennessee Natural Gas successfully met the challenge of a record-setting cold winter by consistently providing reliable natural gas service to our 54,000 customers. Fortunately, natural gas prices had declined and last summer reached their lowest level in years. Furthermore, our “Focus on the Future” Business Plan provided the necessary road map to improve efficiencies, utilize state-of-the-art technology, purchase natural gas at favorable rates, and reduce the District’s overall debt and cost of service. These savings were passed along to you, our customers, to help soften the impact of higher winter usage caused by significantly colder than normal weather. Even in the face of a challenging winter, we achieved a 98 percent customer satisfaction level.

In July the District will celebrate its 55th year of service to the public. The District’s mission when it was created was to meet the human needs and industrial growth requirements of this area of rural Tennessee. The District has been successful in achieving this mission by clearly focusing on improving the welfare of the communities it serves and providing quality natural gas service at competitive rates in a safe, environmentally clean and efficient manner. The District remains committed to managing its business with the highest standards of integrity and fairness; being an innovative leader in the natural gas industry; providing a well-trained and customer-oriented work force; and addressing the needs of its customers, employees and associates on a timely basis with professionalism and courtesy.

While there continues to be uncertainty in the overall economy, the District will rely on its 2010-2011 “Focus on the Future” Business Plan to guide us through these difficult times. We will remain focused on improving efficiencies and stabilizing costs so that we can provide the best energy value to you, our customers.
