Highlights From This Year
Our Message
Many people view TVA’s primary role as consistently delivering the energy they expect and deserve.
That would be true if we were any other enterprise.
But as a public power provider, we work closely with our partners to pursue abundant opportunities to:
- Deliver affordable, reliable, resilient and clean power
- Be good stewards of our natural resources
- Continue to promote economic growth throughout the region
We are shaping the energy system of the future – a system that supports the growth of a world-changing transportation manufacturing hub. That fuels careers and allows families to build better lives. That empowers people to grow deep roots here.
The power of TVA and our partnerships is that we never solve one issue or take one action at a time. It’s our broader vision that allows us to solve multiple, interconnected challenges as we grow, change and innovate.
We are building a bright future. Together, we have the energy to lead.
TVA’s Supplier Diversity program improves our performance while also supporting our community. For example, Mesa Associates started working for TVA in 1990 when it was a small business. Today, it is a full-service provider to TVA and serves nine of the top 10 investor-owned utilities on an annual basis.
TVA manages the region’s water to ensure sustainable supplies for power plants, industrial customers, residents, wildlife and agricultural lands. The Bridgeforth family has been farming in Alabama since 1877, through five generations. Today, Bridgeforth Farms encompasses 10,000 acres in four counties. It receives irrigation water from TVA’s Wheeler Reservoir and the Tennessee River.
Local power companies in long-term partnerships with TVA receive a base rate credit of 3.1% on their monthly bills. All TVA customers have received a 2.5% pandemic credit for the past three years. The Milan Department of Public Utilities in west Tennessee has invested these credits toward enhancements that improve customer service.
