GEA Connect Fiber Internet to Expand County Wide
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. — The Greeneville Energy Authority (GEA) Board voted Tuesday morning to move forward with a comprehensive buildout of fiber optic internet service to the entire county. The ambitious initiative, operating under GEA’s broadband brand GEA Connect, is slated to be completed by spring 2029, marking a transformational milestone in connectivity for residents and businesses across Greeneville and Greene County.
Before construction begins, GEA will submit the approved business case to the State of Tennessee for review. The state has 60 days from receipt to issue its decision. GEA plans to release additional project details and timelines once state approval is secured.
GEA Connect currently provides high speed fiber internet & telephone throughout the entire City of Greeneville, as well as portions of Western Greene County. The board approved expansion will extend this service to GEA’s full electric service territory, bringing local broadband access to customers who have historically had limited connectivity options.
Current GEA Connect Service Plans
GEA Connect residential internet service currently starts at $50 per month, and residential phone service starts at $20 per month. Business customers interested in commercial pricing are encouraged to contact GEA directly.
