President Joe Biden has nominated four new members to the Tennessee Valley Authority Board of Directors. Together, they could reshape the governing body of the federally owned power company based in Knoxville.
The White House announced the nominees Tuesday afternoon. Biden s nominees would replace two outgoing members of the TVA board, whose terms expire May 18, and fill two open positions on the nine-member board. The power provider s board members are appointed by the president and must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
The new nominees have environmental and labor-friendly backgrounds and could signal a shift toward further reducing TVA s carbon emissions, which is a major goal of the Biden administration.
