Tennessee Valley Authority Transparency Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • The bill requires the Tennessee Valley Authority to hold public board meetings at least four times per year.
  • This affects the TVA, a federal utility serving seven southeastern states and millions of electricity customers.
  • The TVA must give public notice six days before meetings, except in emergencies, with no new funding required.

  1. 01

    How would requiring four public TVA board meetings annually change the utility's decision-making process or accountability to the seven southeastern states it serves?

  2. 02

    What types of decisions should the TVA board make behind closed doors versus in public, and how does this bill's requirement address that balance?

  3. 03

    Would more frequent public meetings improve transparency for TVA customers without creating operational delays, or does the six-day notice requirement pose practical challenges?
