Relating to storms. Tennessee relies on US.

"While the "unprecedented" winter storm that continues to grip much of the U.S. and the Mid-South has left millions without power, Tennessee was able to avoid these extended outages and rolling blackouts.

Aaron Paul Melda, transmission and power supply senior vice president for the Tennessee Valley Authority, says the utility's continued reliability is a product of its dedicated workforce and its public power system model.

We have been built and funded by the people of the United States and the Tennessee Valley and are beholden to them alone,"
he said, adding that the utility can plan its grid and operations more conservatively in the absence of investor pressure."
