Readily Available & Efficient Electricity
TVA is committed to delivering low-cost and reliable electricity to the people and businesses that call our region home.
Growing With the Region
Over the past 10 years, TVA has invested $25 billion in our existing infrastructure and has plans to invest more than $15 billion in new generation by 2028. These plans call for building approximately 3,800 MW of new generation to meet our region’s growing demand.
Reliably Delivering Power
Working in Partnership
Together with 153 local power companies, we deliver safe, clean, reliable, and affordable public power to homes and businesses throughout the seven-state Tennessee Valley region. Local power companies purchase power from TVA and distribute it to customers within their service territories.
From Plant to Plug
We help companies ask the right questions to get the power they need. Our region enjoys 99.999% reliability and the lowest industrial rates among peer utilities. TVA is developing additional resiliency solutions to enable growth while maintaining its commitment to system reliability. Here’s how it works:
Phase 1
The Tennessee Valley Authority generates and transmits electricity to local power companies or direct serve customers.
Phase 2
153 local power companies distribute power to their residential and commercial customers. TVA distributes power to direct serve customers.
Phase 3
Lights on! Our residential, commercial, and industrial customers use and rely on our reliable power.
TVA Generation Locations
Our diverse power system — with more than 60 generation plants — allows us to consistently generate more power from the lowest-cost source. Our power is 99.999% reliable and increasingly clean, with nearly 60% coming from carbon-free sources.
Our Clean Power Mix
Nearly 60% of TVA’s electricity comes from carbon-free sources and TVA has aspirations to be net carbon-free by 2050. Learn more about our clean power mix and our commitment to carbon reduction.
A Mission of Service
We’re Powering Communities
TVA is a public power energy provider. We provide energy to the 153 local power companies throughout the region who deliver that power to businesses and homes. Public power means we’re not here to make a profit, we’re here to make a difference.
