AI Summary

This resolution urges the President of the United States to carefully select new board members for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), a major public power provider serving over ten million people across seven states. The resolution emphasizes the need to appoint individuals with proven experience in the electric utility industry who understand the growing energy demands of Tennessee and the broader Tennessee Valley region. Specifically, the resolution calls for board members who have expertise in utility governance, infrastructure development, or direct experience with local power companies, and who are committed to providing affordable and reliable power. The resolution highlights the importance of selecting board members who recognize the critical link between robust power supply and economic development, and who can bring perspectives from rural and suburban Tennessee to the board's decision-making process. Additionally, the resolution notes the current five vacancies on the TVA board as an opportunity to appoint highly qualified individuals who can guide the Authority's future strategic direction. The Tennessee General Assembly requests that copies of this resolution be sent to the President and Tennessee's congressional delegation to underscore the significance of these appointments.
