The Tennessee Valley Authority names its new president and CEO.

Don Moul will serve in the position beginning April 9th.

Moul, who has served as TVA’s executive vice president and COO since June 2021, becomes the fourth CEO of the agency, succeeding Jeff Lyash, who announced his intent to retire in January. “Don is the right choice to lead TVA forward as we work to build an energy system to power the next generation of American jobs,” Lyash said. “Don is ready to be the hand guiding TVA in a time of rapid change and growth, and he will continue to propel TVA’s nuclear leadership. In his role as COO, he has led the development of next generation nuclear technologies and has a deep knowledge and appreciation for nuclear power – the most reliable power the world’s ever known.”

This comes just days after President Donald Trump ordered a TVA board member, Michelle Moore, to be fired.

Moul was also appointed by Governor Bill Lee to serve on the Tennessee Nuclear Energy Advisory Council, which focuses on nuclear innovation and driving continued investment to create a nuclear energy ecosystem for the future of Tennessee.
