The Tennessee Valley Authority delivered just under 33,000 megawatts of electricity Tuesday morning in a peak for a widespread winter storm that began Saturday, though the peak was lower than expected.
The average temperature across TVA’s seven-state region was 13 degrees at 8 a.m. as utility crews continued working to restore outages and repair damage to its transmission system, especially in northern Mississippi, the utility said in a social media post.
“There are places in Mississippi that are just impassable, but we’re still finding a way,” TVA spokesperson Scott Fiedler said in a phone call. “You have trees down, deep snow, ice and frigid temperatures, but our crews are out working.”
While EPB in Chattanooga reported 63 customers facing outages as of 2 p.m. Tuesday, down from around 6,000 on Sunday, other parts of the TVA region are still experiencing widespread outages.
