ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes related to risk factors from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Annual Report, except as described below.

A loss of a quorum of the TVA Board of Directors could limit TVA's ability to adapt to changing business conditions.

Under the TVA Act, a quorum of the TVA Board is five members. In January 2026, the TVA Board regained a quorum, and it currently has seven members. Becoming a member of the TVA Board requires confirmation by the U.S. Senate following appointment by the President, and this process may be lengthy. In addition, the President may remove TVA Board members, and TVA Board members may resign or otherwise leave office before a successor is commissioned. Without a quorum, the TVA Board may not have authority to direct TVA into new areas of activity, to embark on new programs, or to change TVA's existing direction. As such, the loss of a quorum for an extended period of time may have a negative impact on TVA's ability to change the rates TVA charges for power, change long-term objectives, plans, and policies, and respond to significant changes in technology, the regulatory environment, or the industry overall and, in turn, negatively affect TVA's cash flows, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation.
