TVA EnergyRight Business and Industry Programs

Ruchi Singhal proves small steps make a big difference.

“When I was a little girl, I wanted to help people. But in a lot of ways, people can help themselves,” Singhal laughed. “But the Earth? It really needs someone to help it. So that’s what I set out to do.”

That mindset of helping the planet brought her to TVA where her ideas could turn into realities.

At TVA, Ruchi helps commercial and industrial customers conserve energy. As an Energy Programs senior program manager, Ruchi helps businesses and industries save money and protect the planet we call home.
