KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Story courtesy of WVLT) – Don Moul, the president and CEO of Tennessee Valley Authority, has announced his plan to retire.
According to a TVA spokesperson, Moul notified the TVA Board of Directors of his intention to retire effective July 1, 2026.
This comes less than a month after President Trump recommended a $500,000 pay cap for all TVA employees. According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Moul’s salary is $1.2 million.
Director Mitch Graves said the TVA has had strong operational and financial performance under Moul’s leadership.
“The Board appreciates Don’s service to TVA, its employees and the people of the Tennessee Valley region,” Graves said. Under his leadership, TVA has had strong operational and financial performance delivering reliable, affordable, American energy that helps communities across our seven states prosper.”
Moul became the fourth CEO of the agency when he took over the position in April 2025 from Jeff Lyash. He previously served as TVA’s executive vice president and COO.
