Trump dismisses TVA chair, agency loses quorum
President Donald Trump has dismissed Joe Ritch, the chair of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) board, leaving the board without the quorum needed for official business. Ritch's removal follows the recent firing of board member Michelle Moore and comes just as TVA appointed Don Moul as its new CEO. With only four members remaining, TVA cannot make formal decisions on critical issues, including its long-term energy strategy. This latest shakeup reflects ongoing scrutiny from Republican lawmakers regarding TVA's energy policies, particularly its nuclear energy initiatives. Critics argue that the lack of a full board jeopardizes the utility's ability to ensure reliable energy for millions in the region. Ritch was the last remaining appointee from the Obama administration and had been in his position since 2022, with his term set to expire in May 2025.
