Tenneesee Valley Authority 1999 Annual Report: Generating Prosperity in the Valley.

摘要

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), a wholly owned U.S. government corporation established by the TVA Act in 1933, generates prosperity to improve the quality of life for nearly eight million people in the Tennessee Valley region. As the nation's largest wholesale producer of electricity and the operator of the nation's largest public power system, TVA strengthens the regional economy by promoting economic development, supplying low-cost, reliable power, and supporting a thriving river system. TVA provides power to the Valley by balancing the competing needs of power supply, flood control, navigation, land use, water quality, and recreation.
