Connected Communities
Connected Communities are towns, main streets, neighborhoods and cities in the TVA service region using technology and data-related solutions to address community challenges and prepare for a modern energy system. TVA can help communities like yours become more connected by linking you to resources, funding opportunities and tailored support. Together, we can improve our communities’ access to digital services, achieve environmental benefits, scale economic opportunities and become more resilient.
