The Tennessee Valley Authority has welcomed four new members to its board of directors, additions that will restore the panel's ability to vote on new policies and investments after more than nine months without a quorum.

The U.S. Senate confirmed four Trump nominees to the Tennessee Valley Board of Directors Wednesday night but left out Nashville car magnate and political donor Lee Beaman.

The United States’ largest public utility will be able to make changes to policy for the first time since April after the Senate voted to confirm four of President Donald Trump’s nominees to the Tennessee Valley Authority’s board of directors.

Four of President Donald Trump's nominees to the Tennessee Valley Authority board of directors were confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Thursday evening, restoring a quorum to the panel months after Trump fired several directors.

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee was set to vote to move Lee Beaman’s nomination to the Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors out of committee on Dec 10.

The Tennessee Valley Authority included total compensation for nine executives, including four who departed the federal utility during a year of leadership changes, in an annual report published Thursday.

The Tennessee Valley Authority’s operating revenues have hit a $13.7 billion record. The revenue spike comes amid a leadership shakeup at the nation’s third-largest utility and as it works to build new power generation across its seven-state service area.

Something doesn’t smell right. Last fall, the Tennessee Valley Authority raised utility rates by 5.75%, equivalent to $500 million in expected revenue. Then in late November they approved $276 million in bonuses to their employees.

This rate increase was decided on Dec. 5, 2023 when the Memphis City Council approved a 12% increase over the next three years. The changes in MLGW budget would account for raises for employees and the expected addition of about 36 employees.
