The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has declared a 5.25% rate increase effective October 1, 2024, affecting electric bills across Knoxville. This increase, averaging $4.35 monthly, comes as winter temperatures drop. TVA advises residents on energy conservation tips to mitigate rising costs and is focusing on energy infrastructure improvements ahead of expected peak demands. Additionally, TVA is finalizing its Integrated Resource Plan for a sustainable energy future as it looks to address increasing energy needs and transitioning to a net-zero carbon-emitting grid by 2050.
In a move that has caught the attention of many in KNOXVILLE, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has announced a 5.25% rate increase that will come into effect on October 1, 2024. This shift is set to raise the average electric bill by around $4.35 a month, which could have a noticeable impact especially as the region braces for some of the coldest weather this winter.
As the chill of winter settles in, TVA is preparing for an expected surge in demand as cold air sweeps through the area, particularly through mid-week of 2024.
