New TVA Leaders: Graves & Hagood

0:00The Tennessee Valley Authority just named a new board chair after their last one stepped down back in February. Mitch Graves steps up as the presiding officer until April 1, 2027. Then Jeff Haggood takes over as chair-elect. This move comes at a key time for TBA, which powers a huge chunk of the southeast. Graves already chairs the board for TBA's biggest customer, Memphis Light Gas and Water. Haggood's a top lawyer who's built and run solid businesses. TBA's president and CEO, Don Moul, prays both for pushing American energy forward. Graves and Haggood say they're all in on keeping power reliable and rates low to fuel homes, businesses, and jobs in the valley. Their full board terms run until May 18, 2029. Moul plans to retire later this year, so fresh leadership's lining up to meet rising energy demands. With Graves at the helm and Haggood ready to follow, TVA looks set to keep the lights on affordably across the region.
