> I live in the Tennessee Valley, TVA is consistently the WORST utility in the South in terms of green energy initiatives

Really? Of TVA's energy sales in 2017, 7.09% were from "green sources", good for #4 of all power utilities, private or public, in the country.

I think you misunderstand the linked doc.

Oak Ridge Electric Company, which is a tiny municipal utility that sources electricity from TVA, has 7.09% participation in its green pricing program (which presumably bypasses TVA). This has nothing to do with TVA itself and how it generates power.
