TVA
New Deal power
TVA is the Tennessee Valley Authority, a federally owned corporation created in 1933 to provide electricity, flood control, and economic development to the Tennessee Valley region.
It remains one of the largest public power providers in the United States: TVA operates nuclear plants and hydroelectric dams across seven states.
In the television series *Loki*, TVA stands for Time Variance Authority, a fictional bureaucracy that monitors timeline disruptions.
