Time Line  1930’s:  Developed fertilizers and taught farmers to improve crop yields.  Replanting of forests  Electricity generation from dams in the area  Electricity drew industries into the area  1940’s  world war 2 & the need for aluminum, therefore energy  Largest hydropower construction project at the time  Employment  Electricity generation from dams in the area  1950’s  650 mile navigation channel that was the nations largest energy supplier  1960’s  Began construction of nuclear power plants as more economic source of power

Power Generation  Sources: hydro, fossil, nuclear & renewable  29 hydro electric dams; 11 coal fired (2 combined cycle, 8combustion-turbine);3 nuclear; 16 solar power sites; 1 wind power site; 2 diesel generator sites, 1 pumped-storage plant; 1 digester-gas site; 1 biomass co-firing.  miles of transmission lines; 1070 interchange and customer connection points  Serves 7 states: Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia  Generates more electricity than any other public utility in the US

Political  Henry ford and Senator Norris argue about public ownership of the Wilson dam in Alabama  25 year struggle over TVA between republicans and democrats about financing and funding. TVA asked to issue it’s own bonds and use it’s operating budget to repay the US treasury $1 billion it had invested.  Surrounding states and senators didn’t like the fact that if TVA no longer had financial restraints it would be able to sell cheaper power to their customers  Bill allowing TVA to issue bonds (sales area limited to areas it served in 1957)

Environmental Impact 4  Clean Water Initiative  Clean Marina Initiative  Clean Boating campaign  Tail water improvements (~$60 million)  Reservoir ratings:  Reservoir ecological health  Stream ecological health  Sport fishing ratings (based on the fish population)

Social Impact  In the 1930’s ~30% of the population affected by malaria  Development of Dams displaced families  Cheap electricity made life easier for farmers and more productive  Increase/ improvement in public infrastructure as more people moved into the area  Number of women in the workforce increased  Recognized unions for skilled and semi-skilled blue collar employees.  A class action lawsuit was filed against the agency claiming sexual discrimination

Recent Developments  Coal ash spill in Roane county Tennessee (Dec 2008)  Cleanup cost ~ $1.2 billion  Devastated property values  Property buyout $40.2 billion  Stopped tourism + dislocation of retirees  $43 million to be spent on economic development  Ratchet Bonds (bond rates can be reset after years depending on market conditions).

Results of Recent Developments  Renewed interest in the regulations for coal ash within the EPA and TVA  EPA Survey of ash ponds and subsequently renovation of these ponds  Classification of ash: hazardous/non-hazardous  Identification of groundwater contamination  Even with lower interest rates for ratchet bonds there has not been a decrease in the demand for the bonds
