TVA Power Program Expands for Defense Needs
Tennessee Valley Authority marks its eighth anniversary while shifting from a power agency to a key national defense partner. The defense program adds Cherokee dam, Watts Bar plant, Fort Loudoun work, and more generating units, with TVA’s output expected to reach 3.56 million kilowatts and revenues near 39 million dollars. The Aluminum Company of America remains TVA’s biggest customer, and the river’s navigation boosts defense material transport nationwide.
