Power is back on for Nashville!

Downtown businesses that lost electricity due to the flooding in Nashville, Tennessee last week are receiving power starting today. Repairing systems individually, the Nashville Electric Service, is urging caution. The U.S. Bank building had power for business this morning and it is confirmed that many facilities such as the AT&T building, Country Music Hall of Fame, Hilton Nashville Downtown Hotel and others will have power after repairs to the substation. The Wildhorse Saloon, Hilton Courtyard and Nashville Symphony have requested not to receive power yet, for safety reasons.

The NES waits to ensure that they are ready for power, as opposed to energizing the entire area at once. About 3,000 customers were still without power Friday and long-term repair needs at two other substations could lead to outages in surrounding parts of Tennessee when usage picks up this summer.

Combined reports from several well known companies, determined the state of Nashville's high-tech infrastructure earlier this week.

AT&T: The corporate building downtown is on generator power. There are network outages for some telephone customers.

Comcast: Business systems operational. Some cable customer areas maybe affected by flood waters.

Nexus Group: All systems operational. Providing emergency relief program for businesses affected.

Sprint: reporting some cell issues from Nashville to Jackson. Most towers in Nashville are operational.

Verizon Wireless: deployed mobile communication stores in Nashville to support residents affected by recent floods. Some cell service may be interrupted due to power loss on towers.

Windstream: All systems operational. Providing emergency relief program for businesses affected.

Nashville WIFI: The building hosting the repeater lost power, but will be restored today.
