The Council will provide advice to TVA on its energy related resource activities and the priorities among competing objectives and values.

The Council was originally established in 2013 to advise TVA on its energy related resource activities which include the construction and operation of various supply-side resources, including fossil-fueled power plants, nuclear plants, hydroelectric dams, and renewable resources; the development and management of demand-side resources, including energy efficiency; the design, construction and operation of power delivery systems; and the integration of all of these energy resources into plans for meeting future demands for electricity in the TVA region.

It has been determined that the Council continues to be needed to provide an additional mechanism for public input regarding energy-related issues.

Dated: June 15, 2015.

Vice President, Stakeholder Relations, Tennessee Valley Authority.
