About us
For more than eight decades, the Tennessee Valley Authority has provided affordable electricity, environmental stewardship and economic development opportunities to the Tennessee Valley. TVA was established by Congress in 1933 to address a wide range of environmental, economic and technological issues, including the need for low-cost electricity, and navigation and flood control along the Tennessee River system. TVA is fully self-financing, funding virtually all operations through electricity sales and power system bond financing. TVA makes no profit and receives no tax money. TVA’s power service territory includes most off Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Virginia, covering 80,000 square miles and providing electricity to more than 9 million people at prices below the national average, TVA sales electricity to 155 local power companies and 57 directly served industries and federal facilities. Mission: TVA was built for the people – to improve the quality of life in a seven-state region through the integrated management of the region’s resources. The mission focuses on three key areas: • Energy – To provide reliable, affordable electric power throughout the Tennessee Valley. • Environment – To be a steward of the region’s natural resources. • Economic Development – To serve as a catalyst for sustainable economic development. ENERGY: As the nation’s largest government-owned power provider, TVA delivers reliable, competitively priced electricity local power companies and major industrial customers and federal installations. ENVIRONMENT: The Tennessee Valley Authority is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its operations and protecting the natural resources of the region.

It's Turkey Time! Our System Operation Center usually sees an electricity load spike between 9 - 11 am on Thanksgiving Day when holiday chefs turn on their ovens. Our TVA team works every day to ensure the Valley has safe and reliable electricity to cook those holiday meals. #HappyThanksgiving

Just another day in the office for our Telecom Construction group! 🧗📡 These extraordinarily skilled operators install and adjust equipment on cell towers hundreds and hundreds of feet above the ground. This crew recently adjusted a microwave dish 500 feet off the ground in Lynn Grove, KY, after strong winds blew the dish out of alignment.

Ninety years ago this week, President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Tupelo, Mississippi, to share a message of hope. On November 18, the president was driven through the streets of Tupelo in a limo, allowing citizens to catch a glimpse of him. This visit was part of the New Deal initiative, which designated Tupelo as the "First TVA City"!🇺🇸⚡️ #TBT
