TVA lags the nation in energy efficiency, new study shows

In this mention

A new study by the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy finds that TVA spends less than 10% of the U.S. average on energy efficiency programs, contributing to higher electricity consumption and energy burdens in the Tennessee Valley. The study criticizes TVA's discontinuation of efficiency rebate programs after 2018 and notes that the Home Uplift program, while helpful, is inadequately funded relative to TVA's $10 billion annual revenue. TVA leadership responds that energy efficiency is a shared responsibility involving local utilities, governments, and individuals, while acknowledging regional challenges including lower median incomes and less efficient building stock.
