    The Tennessee Valley Authority conducts a unified program of resource
    development for the advancement of economic growth in the Tennessee
    Valley region. The Authority's program of activities includes flood
    control, navigation, electric power production and transmission,
    recreation improvement, water supply, water quality, environmental
    stewardship, and economic development.

    The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a wholly owned Government
    corporation created by act of May 18, 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831-831dd). All
    functions of the Authority are vested in its nine-member Board of
    Directors, the members of which are appointed by the President with the
    advice and consent of the Senate. The Board designates one member as
    Chairman.
        TVA's electric power program is financially self-supporting and
    operates as part of an independent system with TVA's system of dams on
    the Tennessee River and its larger tributaries. These dams provide flood
    regulation on the Tennessee River and contribute to regulation of the
    lower Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The system maintains a continuous 9-
    foot-draft navigation channel for the length of the 650-mile Tennessee
    River main stream, from Paducah, KY, to Knoxville, TN. The dams harness
    the power of the rivers to produce electricity. They also provide other
    benefits, notably outdoor recreation and water supply.
        The Authority operates the river control system and provides
    assistance to State and local governments in reducing local flood
    problems. It also works with other agencies to encourage full and
    effective use of the navigable waterway by industry and commerce.
        The Authority is the wholesale power supplier for 158 local
    municipal and cooperative electric systems serving customers in parts of
    7 States. It supplies power to 62 industries and Federal installations
    whose power requirements are large or unusual. Power to meet these
    demands is supplied from dams, coal-fired powerplants, nuclear
    powerplants, combustion turbine and diesel installations, solar energy
    sites, wind turbines, a methane gas facility, and a pumped-storage
    hydroelectric plant; U.S. Corps of Engineers dams in the Cumberland
    Valley; and Aluminum Company of America dams, whose operation is
    coordinated with TVA's system.
        Economic development is at the heart of the TVA's mission of making
    the Tennessee Valley a better place to live. A thriving economy means
    quality jobs, more investment in the region, sustainable growth, and
    opportunities for residents in the Southeastern region to build more
    prosperous lives. TVA Economic Development takes a regional approach on
    economic growth by partnering with power distributors and both public
    and private organizations to attract new investments and quality jobs,
    support retention and growth of existing businesses and industries,
    prepare communities for leadership and economic growth, and provides
    financial and technical services.
