The chief executive officer of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will retire July 1, according to Knox News. Don Moul, who has served as CEO since April 9, 2025, notified the utility’s board of directors of his decision on April 3. Moul joined TVA in 2021 as chief operating officer and became its fourth CEO in April 2025 following the retirement of Jeff Lyash. He continued to serve as operations chief during his tenure, which is the shortest of any TVA CEO in modern history, according to the paper. Since his appointment, Moul has faced criticism from the Trump administration and Republican U.S. Sens. Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty about the utility’s leadership and the pace of its nuclear project development.
