NESM

Welcome to National Electrical Safety Month!

May is National Electrical Safety Month. Each year we launch a public safety campaign to help spread the word and educate the community about how they can both resolve existing electrical issues and keep them from arising in their home and business.


2023

The 2023 theme for National Electrical Safety Month is “Electrification: E-Mobility.” The focus is on how the rapid advancements made to emerging technology, most notably electric vehicles, require further electrification and safe, efficient devices that can support this increased energy demand.


2022

The 2022 National Electrical Safety Month theme is “Energy Resilience. .This year looks at how emerging technology, such as photovoltaics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems, can provide energy resilience to homes and businesses.


2021

The 2021 National Electrical Safety Month theme was “Connected to Safety” and focused on making your home safe and efficient.
