Being one of the Tennessee Valley Authority s 160 electric distributors, Cleveland Utilities purchases power from TVA at 161,000 volts at two delivery point substations: East Cleveland and South Cleveland Substations. The electric division of Cleveland Utilities is responsible for providing the citizens of Cleveland and Bradley County, Tenn., with a source of readily available electric energy. This is a responsibility that requires a staff possessing a high-degree of technical ability to meet current needs, as well as building the system to meet the needs of future generations. The power is transmitted through a network of sub transmission lines, distribution substations and distribution feeders until it is delivered to each of the company s approximately 27,000 customers. The safety and reliability of the energy delivered is a primary goal and responsibility of the electric division.
