TVA Board Recommendations

The Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors approved a series of actions to protect consumers, ensure long-term reliability and strengthen the nation’s energy security as demand for electricity accelerates across the Valley region and the country. 

The Board approved the recommendations in the Integrated Resource Plan, approved the Fiscal Year 2027 budget and made modifications to TVA’s wholesale rate structure to keep residential rates low while meeting growing data center demand.

These decisions reinforce TVA’s mission of service and its leadership role in advancing American energy – providing low-cost, reliable power that supports communities and customers, and ensuring the region’s rapid growth is met with a resilient, balanced power system.

The Board approved updates to TVA’s wholesale rate structure to increase transparency, be more aligned to cost and protect residential and manufacturing customers from subsidizing the expenses associated with the significant growth of data center load in the Valley.

To meet the Valley’s expanding power demands, the Board approves the recommendations in the 2026 Integrated Resource Plan that provides a long-term resource strategy balancing reliability, affordability, sustainability and flexibility.
