TVA

For over nine decades, TVA has powered progress and enhanced the quality of life across the Tennessee Valley. Established by Congress in 1933, this government-owned entity delivers reliable, affordable electricity while serving as a dedicated steward of the region’s natural resources. TVA’s integrated mission also fosters sustainable economic development, provides essential flood control, and supports navigation throughout its seven-state service area.

TVA operates with a strong commitment to public service, self-financing all operations through electricity sales and power system bond financing, receiving no tax money. Our expansive reach covers 80,000 square miles, providing competitively priced power to 10 million people in most of Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Virginia. We cultivate partnerships to drive regional job growth and economic prosperity. We invite you to explore the lasting impact of our work.
