Preliminary data shows TVA met the region’s highest-ever power demand by delivering 35,319 megawatts at 8 a.m. CT Wednesday, January 22. TVA’s power system remained stable throughout the event. The previous peak of 34,577 was set on Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024, at 8 a.m. CT during Winter Storm Heather. In fiscal year 2024, TVA invested $430 million to harden its system and enhance the reliability and resiliency of its natural gas, coal and hydro generating fleet. The Authority said they appreciate all of their partners in the Tennessee Valley — residents and businesses — who heeded TVA’s call to conserve power during the peak morning hours on Wednesday.
