TENNESSEE VALLEY-Making an investment means putting resources and efforts toward an endeavor that provides future value. At TVA, we’re investing in our planet every day, working to create a sustainable future. That means ensuring our ability to provide the people of the Tennessee Valley with clean, low-cost, reliable electricity, a healthy environment, and a prosperous economy.

- Managing and improving 293,000 acres of public lands and 11,000 miles of shoreline.
- Leveraging TVA’s biological expertise to protect the Tennessee River system – one of the most biodiverse in North America.
