Memorials, Recognition - TVA -
House Resolution 135, adopted unanimously by the Tennessee House of Representatives, honors the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for its 90+ year legacy of providing reliable, affordable electricity to over 10 million people across seven states through partnerships with 153 local power companies, including cooperatives and municipal utilities. The resolution commends TVA's role in supporting regional growth and meeting energy demands while keeping costs low for homes, farms, and businesses. It also highlights the importance of appointing TVA board members with experience from local power cooperatives to reflect TVA's customer-first mission. This symbolic resolution does not create new policy but formally recognizes TVA's service and governance priorities.
