TVA fights to keep its biggest customer as Memphis and other distributors eye split with utility

In this mention

Memphis Light Gas & Water, TVA's largest customer representing nearly 10% of TVA's power load, is studying whether to split from TVA and source power elsewhere, citing potential cost savings through renewable energy and alternative suppliers. Environmental groups including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy support the move toward solar and wind power. TVA President Jeff Lyash is countering with rate rebates, energy efficiency programs, and economic development initiatives, particularly targeting low-income Memphis neighborhoods with high energy burdens.
