Tennessee’s Power Grid and the Impact of Disasters

Tennessee is home to a large and complex power grid that serves millions of people and businesses. The grid is vulnerable to a variety of disasters, both natural and man-made.

A major disaster could have a devastating impact on the state, causing widespread power outages, damage to critical infrastructure, and a loss of life.

The state has taken steps to improve the resilience of its power grid, but more needs to be done to protect against the growing threat of severe weather and other hazards.
