The purpose of the Tennessee Valley Authority (started in 1933) was to modernize the Tennessee Valley area using electricity and federal experts. This area that includes most of Tennessee and parts of several other states surrounding Tennessee was extremely hard hit by the Great Depression.

What new deal program delt with electricity?
There were two major agencies for electricity during the New Deal. The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) brought electricity to isolated farm regions that were of no interest to private utility companies because of the cost and not much profit to the company. The largest government utility provider was the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). It was created to harness the rivers in the Tennessee Valley area and provide electricity to the people living in those areas, some of the poorest in the nation. A system of dams would be created on the rivers to control the floods and to generate electricity. The low cost electricity brought the Valley into the 20th Century and provided the means for other companies to open in that area, thus providing employment to the people.
