LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR ENERGY SYSTEM
INVESTOR-OWNED UTILITIES
Investor-owned utilities are private, monopoly utilities that generate and distribute power to you, the electric customer, over their defined service territory.
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
City utilities — also known as municipal utilities or “munis” — are public, not-for-profit utilities owned by local governments that typically purchase power from a larger utility or local energy markets.
ELECTRIC CO-OPERATIVES
Rural electric cooperatives are not-for-profit utilities that are owned by their customers, or members. We like to call them member-owners!
Movement Spotlight
Tennessee Valley Energy Democracy Movement
We’re a coalition of organizations, community groups and citizens working to bring democracy to the Tennessee Valley Authority energy system and transform it from the bottom up.
We began this effort by reaching out to communities throughout the TVA footprint and asking them what they wanted for their energy future. That grassroots vision is the foundation of our movement.
