Get The Facts
The city of Memphis is in a long-term contract with TVA for our electricity. Memphis can break free from TVA and get a better deal for cheaper, cleaner power elsewhere.
Memphis families, individuals, and small businesses are spending a million dollars a day more than necessary for TVA power. For the sake of our wallets, our public health, our environment, the climate, and for future generations of Memphians, we need to Drop TVA, Now!
Expert studies have shown that Memphis can save $350-$450 million per year on power by leaving TVA for cheaper, cleaner power. This radical savings would reduce the energy burden of those who already spend an outsized portion of their take-home pay on utility bills.
Economic hardship from the pandemic is eating away at Memphis, but one way to address it is through reducing the cost of energy. All Memphis Light, Gas, and Water customers; taxpayers; both the employed and unemployed; and small and large business owners need these savings.
