Mayor Freddie O'Connell said in a statement the NES report "lays out clear opportunities for the utility to modernize its system."
The latest: O'Connell applauded NES for beginning to implement upgrades suggested in its review.
"This is how accountability works: identify the gaps, commit to solutions, execute with transparency, and report progress. Nashville is doing that together," O'Connell said.
State of play: The NES findings will be incorporated into the Winter Storm Commission's broader investigation. That report is expected later this summer.
O'Connell appointed former Mayor and Gov. Phil Bredesen and former House Speaker Beth Harwell to lead the commission.
Zoom out: O'Connell also announced the appointment of Jaz Boon to the NES board. Boon, who must be confirmed by council, will replace chair Anne Davis.
