The Tennessee Valley Authority has promoted one of its top executives to CEO as President Donald Trump has begun turning his attention back to the nation’s largest public utility.
The TVA announced Monday that its board picked Moul as president and chief executive. He replaces Jeff Lyash, who is retiring.
Moul has served as TVA’s executive vice president and chief operating officer since 2021. He starts in the new role April 9.
The move comes days after Trump removed one of the TVA board members appointed under then-President Joe Biden.
Tennessee’s two Republican U.S. senators have criticized the board, saying it’s bogging down a proposed small modular nuclear reactor.
