Tennessee Valley Authority appoints new president and CEO

The Tennessee Valley Authority has recently announced the appointment of Don Moul as its new president and CEO. Moul will take on this role starting on April 9, becoming the fourth CEO of the organization, succeeding Jeff Lyash, who revealed his plans to retire in January. With extensive experience in the energy sector, especially in nuclear technology, Moul is seen as the ideal candidate to lead TVA into the future.

Lyash, the current CEO, expressed his confidence in Moul’s abilities to steer TVA towards a successful energy landscape that supports the growth of American jobs. Moul’s background as the executive vice president and COO of TVA since June 2021 has equipped him with the necessary expertise to continue the agency’s advancements in nuclear power. With a strong focus on next-generation nuclear technologies, Moul is well-positioned to uphold TVA’s reputation as a leader in reliable energy solutions.

In addition to his role within TVA, Moul has contributed to the Tennessee Nuclear Energy Advisory Council, a board focused on fostering innovation and investment in nuclear energy development within the state. Governor Bill Lee appointed Moul to this council, highlighting his dedication to driving progress in the nuclear energy sector and establishing a sustainable energy ecosystem for Tennessee’s future.

The announcement of Moul’s appointment comes shortly after President Donald Trump’s dismissal of TVA board member Michelle Moore. Despite this recent change within the TVA leadership, Moul’s appointment signals a new chapter for the agency, marked by a commitment to driving energy innovation and sustainability.

Overall, with Don Moul at the helm, the Tennessee Valley Authority is poised to continue its legacy of excellence in the energy sector. Moul’s expertise in nuclear technologies and his strategic vision for the future align well with TVA’s mission to provide reliable and sustainable energy solutions for the Tennessee Valley region. As Moul assumes his new role as president and CEO, stakeholders can expect continued progress and innovation under his leadership.
