Earth Day

Our Power, Our Planet

For 2025, the theme for the national observance of Earth Day is Our Power, Our Planet, which is championing solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal and tidal-generated energy.

At TVA, we believe there’s no cleaner energy source than water, and in the Tennessee Valley region it is constantly renewable. The Valley is blessed with abundant rainfall — about 51 inches a year on average. That means TVA has access to a lot of hydropower, and it plays a major role in providing reliable and affordable electricity to the TVA service region.

From hydro, the original renewable, to other sources, TVA is continuing to provide affordable, reliable, resilient and increasingly cleaner energy to the region.
