TVA is having a birthday

The Tennessee Valley Authority celebrated its 75th Anniversary in 2008. The TVA Act was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on May 18, 1933.

TVA has a long and proud history of serving the Tennessee Valley, providing reliable, affordable electricity, supporting a thriving river system, and stimulating economic growth.
