About the Tennessee grid region

The Tennessee region is the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the federal utility serving Tennessee and slices of six neighboring states. Its mix of nuclear, hydro and gas makes it one of the steadier regions on the map, which makes a TVA stress reading worth taking seriously.

On the map, this region is part of the Eastern Interconnection. Its status color comes from the ratio of actual demand to the bias-corrected day-ahead forecast: green means headroom, amber and orange mean it is tightening, and red means demand has met or passed what the operator expected, or a real emergency has been declared.
