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

A Mission of Service
