AI Summary

This resolution formally condemns Nashville Electric Service (NES) for its inadequate response to a recent storm, citing widespread outages, poor communication, and inaccurate information provided to tens of thousands of customers across Davidson County and surrounding areas, which exacerbated the hardship for residents and businesses. The resolution calls upon the NES Board of Directors to conduct a thorough review of the storm response, including operational readiness and leadership performance, and urges them to replace the chief executive officer if current leadership is deemed unable to restore public confidence and ensure reliable service. Furthermore, it demands that NES present a detailed plan with measurable goals for improving storm preparedness, grid resilience, workforce deployment, and customer communication, with public reporting on progress.
