KnauffAbout Tennessee Power Company

Tennessee Power Company (TPCO) was incorporated in the State of Tennessee on January 30, 1995. Effective April 12, 1995 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) authorized TPCO to engage in wholesale electric power and energy transactions throughout the nation as a marketer (Docket No. ER95-581-000). Under FERC policy on power marketers, TPCO is recognized as an electric utility with various regulations waived. TPCO has standing agreements with many electric power systems throughout the Eastern Interconnection to purchase, sell, and wheel power; and is continually expanding its business arrangements.

TPCO is currently involved primarily in wholesale power transactions; however, it is marketing green tags or renewable certificates applicable in both the wholesale and retail markets. In addition, TPCO is involved in several electric power generating projects categorized by FERC as either qualifying facilities (QFs) or exempt wholesale generators (EWGs). See Biomass & Methane Projects above for information regarding QF and/or EWG projects currently under development. See Greenhouse Gas Reductions above if you have an interest in reducing greenhouse gases.

TPCO's founder and president, Michael R. Knauff, served for several years with the Tennessee Valley Authority in various positions relating to power marketing and interutility business. Since leaving TVA he has served as a regional manager of an unregulated marketing subsidiary of PSI, the largest electric utility in Indiana (which subsequently merged with CG&E to form Cinergy), and was part of the core group which formed a power marketing subsidiary for the AES Corporation, one of the largest international independent power producers in the world.
