ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures TVA's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Strategy Officer, and members of the Disclosure Control Committee, including the Vice President and Controller (Principal Accounting Officer) ("management"), evaluated the effectiveness of TVA's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, TVA's management, concluded that TVA's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by TVA in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by TVA in such reports is accumulated and communicated to TVA's management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Control over Financial Reporting (a) Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting TVA's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. TVA's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting and systems may not prevent or detect misstatements. TVA's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Strategy Officer, and members of the Disclosure Control Committee, including the Vice President and Controller (Principal Accounting Officer), evaluated the design and effectiveness of TVA's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021, based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, TVA's management concluded that TVA's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2021. Although the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was not required to be subject to attestation by TVA's independent registered public accounting firm, TVA has chosen to obtain such a report. Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report, has issued an attestation report on TVA's internal control over financial reporting. (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, there were no changes in TVA's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, TVA's internal control over financial reporting. 163 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors of Tennessee Valley Authority Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited Tennessee Valley Authority’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control— Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO Criteria). In our opinion, Tennessee Valley Authority (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021, based on the COSO criteria . We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in proprietary capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes and our report dated November 12, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Chattanooga, Tennessee November 12, 2021 164 Table of Contents ITEM 9B.

Under Section 10A(m)(2) of the Exchange Act, which applies to TVA, the audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the external auditor; however, the TVA Act assigns the responsibility for engaging the services of the external auditor to the TVA Board.

Compensation granted in connection with the above-referenced NEO changes is set forth below in Notable 2021 Actions . TVA's Unique Public Power Mission of Service TVA is a corporate agency and instrumentality of the U.S. that was created in 1933 by federal legislation to provide integrated resource management of the Tennessee Valley while improving the lives of the people in the region. This congressional statute mandates a primary objective of providing reliable energy at rates that are as low as feasible; managing natural resources responsibly; and promoting economic development. Under federal law, TVA is aligned with other corporate entities as it is required to follow Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, and compensation must be based on prevailing compensation for similar positions in investor-owned companies as well as governmental entities. 170 Table of Contents TVA PUBLIC POWER MISSION - TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO MAKE LIFE BETTER Today, TVA operates the nation's largest public power system and is one of the largest U.S. electric utilities in terms of generating capacity. TVA's "Public Power" mission sets it apart from its investor-owned peers. As an instrumentality of the federal government, TVA’s mission is to serve the people of the Tennessee Valley. Profits do not go to shareholders, but rather are reinvested back into the Tennessee Valley community and the energy infrastructure that powers it. In doing so, TVA uses no appropriated tax dollars. TVA is self-funded, with virtually all its operations funded through revenue and power system financings . Complexity and Scale Comparable to Investor-Owned Utilities TVA supplies reliable power over more than 16,000 miles of transmission lines to a population of approximately 10 million people over nearly 80,000 square miles in seven states, employs approximately 10,200 people, and helps recruit and retain billions of dollars in economic development projects annually. The complexity, scale, and scope of its utility operations rival those of the largest U.S. utility companies. Unlike most of its peers, TVA is also responsible for managing and caring for many of the natural resources, including public lands and waters, in the Tennessee Valley region. 171 Table of Contents Energy Delivering reliable, low cost, clean energy Largest Public Power System In the United States 37,896 MW Summer Net Capacity One of the Largest Transmission Systems In high voltage lines among United States utilities More than 16,000 miles of high voltage lines and 69 interconnections with neighboring electric systems 3rd Largest Electricity Generator In the United States, based on 2020 Total Electric Generation 3rd Largest Nuclear Fleet In the United States, providing over 40 percent of the energy produced by TVA 29 Power-Generating Dams Hydroelectric providing 3,750 megawatts of net summer capability 3rd Largest Pumped-Storage Hydro Plant In the United States, capable of producing 1,635 megawatts of net summer capability on demand Generating Assets – Three nuclear sites – Five coal-fired sites – 29 hydroelectric sites – One pumped-storage hydroelectric site – Nine combustion turbine gas sites – Eight combined cycle gas sites – 13 solar energy sites – One diesel generator site Partnering with 153 Local Power Companies, Every Day We Serve Approximately 10 Million People Over 775,000 Businesses Including 57 corporations and federal installations Across Seven States Managing Large, Complex Operations Safely Continued Strong Safety Performance Carbon Reduction Leadership 63% reduction in mass carbon emissions from generation from CY 2005 to CY 2020 172 Table of Contents Environment Caring for our region's natural resources Managing 49 Dams Hydroelectric and non-power Approximately 100 Public Recreation Areas The Tennessee River to provide year-round navigation, flood damage reduction, and affordable and reliable electricity Caring for Over 40,000 Miles of Rivers, Streams, and Tributaries 11,000 Miles of reservoir shoreline 293,000 Acres of reservoir land 650,000 Surface Acres of reservoir water Approximately 800 Miles of Commercially Navigable Waterways Economic Development Creating sustainable economic growth Attracting Over $8.8 Billion Investments in Tennessee Valley creating and retaining approximately 80,900 jobs Approximately 10,200 Employees 15,500 Contractors TVA Programs Rural Development Rural Leadership Institute / Customized Training Technical Services Site evaluations and master planning, 3D renderings, video, photography, and virtual reality Workforce Analytics Company Research Support communities in fulfillment of information for company prospects Telework Technology Grant Assistance for rural or economically distressed communities to enhance technology capabilities that support remote work opportunities Product Development Financial support for communities to make sites and buildings more marketable for companies to locate and grow Training and Development Training & development, facilitation services, leadership training, workforce training, and talent development Top Utility in Economic Development 16 Consecutive Years By Site Selection Magazine 173 Table of Contents Attracting Experienced Talent Requires Competitive Pay Talent matters because of its value contribution and scarcity. Attraction and retention of talent is paramount to TVA given its complex operations and high performance expectations. This important component of TVA's strategy was incorporated in the TVA Act through the requirement of competitive compensation in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005. In order to fulfill its public power mission in the most effective way possible, TVA must provide market-based, competitive compensation levels to deliver superior performance and execute ambitious multi-year objectives aligned with TVA's public power mission. TVA is one of the largest and most complex organizations in the energy services industry, with generating capacity and assets that surpass most of its peers. While TVA's revenue is below the median of its peer group, this is reflective of TVA's success with regard to its public service mission, as one of its primary objectives is to maintain the lowest feasible rates. As noted in "Delivering Value Through Superior Performance" below, TVA's rates are below the rates of the vast majority of the top U.S. utilities. Unique to TVA, the company is also responsible for managing the Tennessee River system to provide flood control, navigation, hydroelectric generation, recreation, water quality and supply, and other benefits. Further, TVA plays the critical role of attracting and allocating a significant amount of capital back into the economic development of the Tennessee Valley. TVA successfully manages all of this with an employee count below the median employee count of its peers, demonstrating a comparatively greater efficiency. TVA POSITIONING AGAINST PEERS* *For information on peer group, see "Compensation Setting Process Demonstrates Strong Governance - TVA Competes with Peers for Talent" below. (1) Based on data from the consecutive four quarters ended June 30, 2020 (data source S&P's Capital IQ) (2) Based on data from the consecutive four quarters ended June 30, 2020 (data source S&P's Capital IQ) (3) Based on fiscal year end as of October 2020 (data source S&P's Capital IQ) (4) Based on data reported by SNL Energy in March 2020 (5) Based on data reported by SNL Energy in March 2020 Given the nature and scale of its operations, TVA competes with large investor-owned utilities ("IOUs") to attract and retain talent. Five of TVA's six NEOs were formerly employed by IOUs. Additionally, over 70 percent of TVA executives who were externally recruited over the last five years are former employees of IOUs. TVA's ability to compete with these organizations for talent has yielded success for TVA and its stakeholders. Delivering Value Through Superior Performance TVA's success is measured in terms of value delivered to the businesses, customers, and residents of the Tennessee Valley by providing low-cost energy, maintaining reliable, safe, and efficient infrastructure, investing in the community's economy, and managing and protecting its environmental assets. Executing on its strategic priorities, TVA continues to make a positive impact on all of its stakeholders, as shown below. Under the leadership of TVA's NEOs, TVA's employees delivered another year of performance improvements – and achieved or exceeded nearly all 2021 key performance objectives – despite the continuation of challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. 174 Table of Contents Safety-Focused Operations • Top decile performance for TVA's Recordable Injury Rate and top quartile performance for TVA's Serious Injury Rate in 2021 – Continued Strong Safety Performance – Consistent decline in recordable injuries and illnesses Pay for Performance • Above target at-risk incentive payouts awarded to employees for achieving company performance goals in 2021 Inclusive Culture • Ranked in Top 100 - 2021 America's Most Loved Workplaces ® ( Newsweek in partnership with Best Practice Institute) • Established Inclusion with Diversity ("IwD") Council - advises, champions, and oversees all IwD strategies and actions • Supports nine Employee Resource Groups ("ERGs") • 2021 Military Friendly ® Employer - Top 10 designation.

As a result of its high level of performance, TVA achieved its performance objectives above the target goals for both its annual and long-term incentives for 2021 - at 142 percent and 132 percent, respectively. TVA is a utility company that competes with other utilities - including investor-owned utilities - for talent, but since TVA is a mission-based organization, TVA compensates its CEO conservatively relative to its compensation peers. In particular, TVA's CEO is currently compensated below the 50th percentile of 2021 compensation peers. TVA's performance along with its compensation structure results in differentiated value delivered directly to the residents of the Tennessee Valley and reflects a keen focus on TVA's mission of serving those residents. 178 Table of Contents Notable 2021 Actions The following are key actions during 2021: Independent Study Confirms CEO Compensation Benchmarking Remains Competitive In January 2021, FW Cook concluded its independent study of CEO compensation commissioned by the Committee. FW Cook concluded that TVA’s historical approach to benchmarking, which blends data from IOUs, government agencies, and non-profit entities, remains relevant, and captures the intent of the TVA Act to develop an annual salary survey based on market data of relevant peers.

Supplemental Compensation Plan Changes to Better Align to Market Long-Term Incentive Plan Amended On November 12, 2020, the CEO approved an amended and restated Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") that allows TVA to make off-cycle performance-based grants and retention grants on a pro-rated basis. This change better aligns TVA’s plan to market practices and accommodates mid-cycle promotions and new hires. Executive Severance Plan Adopted On February 10, 2021, TVA’s CEO established the TVA Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), including the eligibility of TVA’s named executive officers (other than the CEO) to participate in the Severance Plan. The Severance Plan was designed and established following a market study of executive severance arrangements of TVA’s peers. On February 11, 2021, the Board approved the CEO’s participation in the Severance Plan as part of the overall market review of CEO compensation. See Executive Compensation Tables and Narrative Disclosures - Executive Severance Plan for more information about the Severance Plan. Changes to Performance Goals to Account for External Factors and Impacts Beyond Management Control Performance Goals - 2021 Annual Incentive Award On April 30, 2021, pursuant to the authority delegated under the TVA Compensation Plan, the CEO approved revised performance goals for the Annualized Nuclear Unit Capability Factor measure of the TVA Enterprise Scorecard, which the CEO believed was consistent with TVA’s compensation philosophy focus on pay for performance, to account for the steam generator degradation at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Unit 2, which was beyond the control of management. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Key Initiatives and Challenges – Generation Resources – Watts Bar Unit 2 .

Performance Goals - 2019-2021 LTP Awards On April 29, 2021, the Board exercised its discretion under the TVA Compensation Plan to approve a revised performance goal for the 2021 External Performance Indicators for the TVA Nuclear Fleet measure for the 2019-2021 LTP performance cycle. The revision, which the CEO believed was consistent with TVA’s compensation philosophy focus on pay for performance, was made to account for the impacts of eelgrass intrusion at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant and steam generator degradation at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Unit 2, both of which were beyond the control of management. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Key Initiatives and Challenges – Generation Resources – Watts Bar Unit 2 and Aquatic Vegetation . The revised External Performance Indicators for the TVA Nuclear Fleet impacted the calculation of the External Measures composite metric, and the Board accordingly approved a corresponding change to the goals for that metric.

TVA's Executive Compensation Philosophy TVA's mission is to serve the people of the Tennessee Valley to make life better. TVA aims to achieve its mission by attracting, retaining, and motivating highly qualified and committed executives to guide the organization's strategy, performance, and public power mission. TVA follows a Compensation Plan as adopted by the TVA Board in accordance with the guidance of the TVA Act. The Compensation Plan is designed to: • Provide market-based, competitive compensation levels so TVA can attract, retain, and motivate highly competent employees. Target total direct compensation generally is determined by reference to the median (50th percentile) of the relevant labor market. Executives may be positioned above or below the median based on labor market scarcity and other factors such as tenure in the role. • Set performance goals that are aligned with TVA's strategic priorities . • Incentivize and reward short-term and long-term performance by providing a mix of salary and performance-based short-term and long-term incentives, typically targeting a majority portion of long-term compensation in the form of at-risk, performance-based compensation. • Align performance and productivity improvement at all levels by setting consistent performance goals and objectives for all levels of the organization. The TVA Board follows these requirements of the TVA Act in designing and implementing its Compensation Plan: • Compensation will be based on an annual survey of benchmark compensation for similar positions in private industry, including engineering and electric energy companies, publicly-owned electric companies, and federal, state, and local governments; and • Compensation will take into account education, experience, level of responsibility, geographic differences, and retention and recruitment needs. TVA's Executive Compensation Program Aligns Pay with Performance Nearly two-thirds of the CEO's target total direct compensation (“TDC”) is performance-based and at risk, based on achievement of performance goals that further advance TVA's mission and strategic objectives. More than half of the other NEO's target TDC opportunity is performance-based and at risk. This alignment of compensation with performance also results in compensation being aligned with value delivered to TVA's stakeholders, including LPCs, businesses, and communities, and to the economy of the Tennessee Valley. CEO TARGET TDC COMPENSATION MIX OTHER NEO TARGET TDC COMPENSATION MIX 182 Table of Contents 2021 CEO Target Total Direct Compensation Is Below the Peer Median The TVA Act requires competitive, market-based executive compensation. Many of TVA's peers, with similarly complex and large-scale operations, are investor-owned utilities. The TVA Board considers TVA's federal agency status in setting compensation components and pay levels, both directly – by incorporating government agencies into the executive compensation survey sample used to develop benchmarks, as required by the TVA Act – and indirectly by targeting TDC below the 50 th percentile median of the market composite data. The TVA Board increased Mr. Lyash's pay for 2021 to reflect his leadership and experience. While the change moved Mr. Lyash's pay closer to the median in 2021, his target TDC is below the 25th percentile of the 2021 market composite. The use of benchmarking data is described in detail under Compensation Setting Process Demonstrates Strong Governance – TVA Competes With Peers For Talent below. The graphics below illustrate 2021 target TDC for the CEO and the average 2021 target TDC for the other NEOs as compared to the 2021 market composite 25th and 50th (median) percentiles. Note Target market assessment effective October 2020 and included market composite of Willis Towers Watson (“WTW”) database and proxy peer group. 183 Table of Contents CEO Compensation at a Glance ACTUAL 2021 TOTAL DIRECT COMPENSATION ("TDC") EARNED $1,100,000 BASE SALARY $2,928,750 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AWARD At risk, performance based Under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan ("EAIP"), 142 percent of target enterprise performance achieved, 125 percent Individual Multiplier applied $2,671,680 LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE ("LTP") AWARD (1) At risk, performance based Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), 132 percent of LTP achieved for the three-year performance cycle ended September 30, 2021 $754,300 LONG-TERM RETENTION ("LTR") AWARD (2) Under LTIP, award amount consists of two 2021 tranches - 2020 LTR award and 2021 LTR award Notes (1) Mr. Lyash was granted an LTP award with a target amount $2,024,000 effective October 1, 2019, for the 2019-2021 performance cycle that was part of his employment offer. Since Mr. Lyash joined TVA in 2019, this is the first LTP award he earned under the LTIP. (2) Mr. Lyash's long-term incentives earned in 2021 reflect a partial long-term incentive award. While executives typically have three overlapping retention awards (typically granted annually with ratable vesting over-three years subject to continued employment), since Mr. Lyash joined TVA in 2019, he had only two such awards outstanding in 2021. TDC earned reflects the decisions made by the Committee at the end of 2021 to reward the CEO for his past performance. Under Mr. Lyash's leadership as CEO, TVA has made meaningful progress on improving its Public Power mission. The company's outperformance under key operational metrics strengthened TVA's ability to deliver low-cost and reliable energy to the Tennessee Valley. 2021 TARGET TOTAL DIRECT COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITY GRANTED BELOW MARKET MEDIAN Target TDC opportunity is forward-looking – it represents potential compensation set by the Committee, effective at the beginning of 2021, to incentivize superior performance. Some of the $6,913,000 opportunity was earned in 2021 (salary, annual performance award and 1/3 of the LTR award) while most will not be earned until future satisfaction of performance or employment conditions: Mr. Lyash will earn the LTP award component only upon achievement of certain performance targets at the end of the three-year performance period (September 30, 2023), and he will receive the second and third tranches of the LTR award opportunity only upon his continued employment on each of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023. See "2021 Performance Goals and Performance Achievement" below for more information on annual and long-term incentive plans. There is no minimum payment guaranteed under the annual and long-term performance awards. The amount that he will receive upon the vesting of those awards will be determined at the end of the performance periods and depends on the level of performance against preset performance goals. OTHER COMPENSATION Mr. Lyash was paid $292,000 in 2021 as the third and final tranche of a deferred cash recruitment and relocation incentive award under his employment offer letter. This deferred cash incentive award was intended to compensate him for amounts he forfeited from his previous employer in order to join TVA, as well as to provide some measure of substitute compensation in light of his not being eligible to receive any LTP incentive payments until September 2021. 184 Table of Contents KEY COMPANY PERFORMANCE METRICS The 2021 annual key performance metrics objectives were established in 2020 and, despite challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, TVA exceeded all targeted objectives, delivering high operational, safety, and financial strength performance for 2021. The LTP performance metrics below were for the 2019-2021 performance cycle. Organizational performance under the 2019-2021 LTP program was stronger than expected in key operational measures.

Compensation Setting Process Demonstrates Strong Governance Who Is Involved In Setting Compensation The TVA Board, under the authority of the TVA Act, has responsibility for establishing compensation for TVA employees, including the NEOs. The TVA Board is directed under Section 2 of the TVA Act to establish a plan that specifies all compensation (such as salary and any other pay, benefits, incentives, or other form of remuneration) for the CEO and TVA employees. The TVA Act also provides that: • The TVA Board will annually approve all compensation (such as salary and any other pay, benefits, incentives, or other form of remuneration) for all managers and technical personnel who report directly to the CEO (including any adjustment(s) to compensation); • On the recommendation of the CEO, the TVA Board will approve the salaries of employees whose salaries would be in excess of Level IV of the Executive Schedule of the U.S. Government ($172,500 in 2021); and • The CEO will determine the salary and benefits of employees whose annual salary is not greater than Level IV of the Executive Schedule ($172,500 in 2021). Under the authority of the TVA Act, the TVA Board, its People and Governance Committee (the "Committee"), and individual TVA Board members are involved in compensation matters. The TVA Board has taken the following actions to delegate authority with respect to compensation: • The TVA Board has delegated to the TVA Board Chair, in consultation with the Committee and with input from individual members of the TVA Board, the authority to evaluate and rate the CEO's performance during the year, and the authority to approve any payout to the CEO under the EAIP, based on, among other things, the CEO's evaluated performance during the year. • The TVA Board has authorized the CEO to set or adjust compensation for present or future direct reports within a compensation range of 80 percent to 110 percent of the target TDC, as well as to approve the parameters under which such executives may participate in certain supplemental benefit plans such as TVA's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"), provided that the CEO may not finally set or adjust such compensation until the TVA Board members have been notified of the proposed compensation and given the opportunity to ask the Committee, or the full TVA Board, to review the proposed compensation before it becomes effective. • The TVA Board has delegated to the CEO, in consultation with the Committee and with input from individual members of the TVA Board, the authority to approve the individual performance goals for the CEO's direct reports and the authority to evaluate and rate the performance of the CEO's direct reports during the year against such performance goals. • The TVA Board has delegated to the CEO the authority to approve, or delegate to others the authority to approve, all personnel and compensation actions for which the TVA Board is responsible but has not reserved for itself. • The Committee is responsible for oversight of executive compensation pursuant to the Compensation Plan and review of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. 185 Table of Contents Role of Compensation Consultant The Committee engaged the independent consulting firm Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("FW Cook") in 2021 to determine the peer group and the benchmarking process, and to help evaluate competitive compensation. The Committee assessed certain independence factors and determined the firm's work raised no potential conflict of interest. 186 Table of Contents Compensation Setting – Annual Roles and Responsibilities The following chart sets forth the roles of the TVA Board, Board Chair, Committee, and CEO, and typical timeframe, in setting compensation for the NEOs.

TVA competes for this talent with large investor-owned energy companies, and thus TVA needs to offer compensation programs that are competitive with those peers. Use of Market Data and Benchmarking TVA generally determines target TDC for executives based on the relevant labor market. After compiling market compensation for the positions at the beginning of 2021, the Committee, with assistance from FW Cook, used the information to: • Assess target compensation level and incentive opportunity competitiveness; and • Determine appropriate target compensation levels and incentive opportunities to maintain the desired degree of market competitiveness taking into consideration other factors such as experience, skill set, performance, and internal parity. The relevant labor market for most of TVA's executives, including the NEOs, consists of both private and publicly-owned companies in the energy services industry that have similar revenue and scope as TVA. Each year, the Committee's compensation consultant recommends a peer group for approval by the Committee. For 2021 compensation opportunities, TVA's market data was determined based on a review of executive compensation survey data and proxy peer group data. For the survey-based analysis, TVA referenced a sample from the 2020 Willis Towers Watson Energy Services Executive Compensation Database consisting of (i) 36 IOUs with revenues greater than or equal to $3.0 billion plus (ii) 10 additional government entities with revenue greater or equal to $1.0 billion. Data from this sample were further regressed to TVA's size based on revenue. For NEO roles, the survey analysis was supplemented with public compensation data from a separate proxy peer group of IOUs. The Committee reviews the proxy peers annually to ensure continued appropriateness, including comparable business content and model, company size measured primarily by revenue and assets, and other refining factors such as generating capacity, number of employees, and number of customers. When making compensation decisions for 2021, the Committee reviewed peer group size data, which is shown below. At that time, TVA was centrally-positioned within the current peer group; the primary financial metrics, revenue and assets, are positioned near the median, while secondary metrics are balanced, with generating capacity above the 85th percentile, customers above the 75th percentile, and employee count at the 30th percentile. TVA REVENUE VS PEERS (1) ($MMs) TVA ASSETS VS PEERS (2) ($MMs) GEN CAPACITY VS PEERS (3) (000s MW) TVA EMPLOYEE COUNT VS PEERS (4) TVA CUSTOMER COUNT VS PEERS (5) (000s) Notes (1) Based on data from the consecutive four qua rters ended June 30, 2020 (data source S&P's Capital IQ) (2) Based on data from the consecutive four quarters ended June 30, 2020 (data source S&P's Capital IQ) (3) Based on fiscal year end as of October 2020 (data source S&P's Capital IQ) (4) Based on data reported by SNL Energy in March 2020 (5) Based on data reported by SNL Energy in March 2020 For executives with both proxy and survey benchmarks, competitive comparisons were made relative to a "market composite" or an average of the survey and proxy data. 188 Table of Contents List of Compensation Peer Companies The following chart outlines the companies that constituted the survey sample and proxy peer group used to benchmark NEO compensation for 2021: Company Investor Owned Utilities with Revenue Greater than or Equal to $3.0 Billion Which Participated in 2020 Willis Towers Watson Energy Services Survey Government Entities Which Participated in 2020 Willis Towers Watson Energy Services Survey Proxy Peer Group of Investor Owned Utilities AES Corp.

Based on the results of this assessment, no risks were identified with the compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the organization and its achievement of its strategic goals and objectives. 2021 Executive Compensation Program Components Total Direct Compensation In setting executive compensation each year, the Committee focuses on TDC, which includes those compensation elements that incentivize future performance or reward past performance. TDC is comprised of annual salary, annual incentive award under the EAIP, LTP award under the LTIP, and LTR award under the LTIP. Each year, two key compensation decisions are made with respect to NEO compensation: (1) the amount of the TDC opportunity to grant, which is forward-looking, incentivizes the NEO to perform, and is determined towards the beginning of the fiscal year, and (2) the amount of TDC earned, which rewards the NEO for prior performance and (other than salary) is determined at the end of the year. The TDC components and weightings for TDC opportunities granted to the NEOs in 2021 are summarized below and described in the sections that follow. Since TVA is a governmental entity that issues no equity, all direct compensation is denominated and paid out in cash. 190 Table of Contents Compensation Component And % of Target TDC Objective Key Features Annual Salary Provides fixed base level of compensation to executives to encourage hiring and retention of qualified individuals • Annual salary is typically determined by reference to median (50th percentile) for similar positions at other companies in TVA's peer group; above the median (50th to 75th percentile) for positions affected by market scarcity, recruitment and retention issues, and other business reasons; or below median due to incumbent experience, position scope, or other business reasons. • Typically reviewed annually to consider changes in benchmark salaries and/or exceptional individual merit performances. Executive Annual Incentive Plan (EAIP) Incentivizes performance by providing at-risk compensation tied to attainment of pre-established performance goals for the fiscal year • Annual incentive payouts are based on the results of enterprise goals as determined from year to year by the TVA Board or the CEO, as applicable. Annual incentive payouts may be impacted by a corporate multiplier or adjusted by the TVA Board or CEO, as applicable, based on the evaluation of performance during the year. • Target annual incentive opportunities increase with position and responsibility and are based in part on the opportunities other companies in TVA's peer group provide to those in similar positions. • Typically reviewed annually to consider changes in benchmark annual incentives. Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) • Participation is limited to key positions that have the ability to significantly impact the long-term financial and/or operational objectives critical to TVA's overall success. • LTP awards are granted with a three-year vesting cycle. Awards are variable at-risk opportunities based on achievement against performance goals established at the beginning of the three-year performance period. • The Committee's policy is for a majority of each executive's total long-term incentive opportunity to be in the form of performance-based awards, with the remaining percent to be retention oriented. • LTR awards will vest and pay out in three equal increments annually over three years, subject to the participant being employed through such dates, but are payable upon death or disability if earlier on a pro-rated basis. • Since TVA issues no equity, TVA offers retention awards to be competitive with the industry marketplace for talent, providing a retention incentive similar to restricted stock or restricted stock units. These grants are intended to encourage executives to remain with TVA and to provide, in combination with salary, EAIP, and LTP grants, a competitive level of TDC. Long-Term Performance Award (LTP) Incentivizes performance by providing at-risk compensation tied to attainment of pre-established performance goals over a three-year performance period Long-Term Retention Award (LTR) Incentivizes retention by providing retention-based grants that are tied to a three-year vesting schedule Setting Competitive Compensation Amounts and Opportunities Relevant to Labor Market Salary Annual salary is considered a "fixed" compensation component. Salary levels are typically reviewed annually to consider changes in benchmark salaries and/or exceptional individual merit performances. The 2021 salaries for the NEOs are described under each executive's compensation scorecard under 2021 Pay Decisions - 2021 NEO Pay Decisions and Compensation Scorecards below and reported in the Executive Compensation Tables and Narrative Disclosures - Summary Compensation Table . Incentive Opportunities The incentive opportunities for the NEOs are set at levels that (i) are competitive with the relevant labor market, with target total direct compensation generally determined by reference to the 50th percentile of the relevant labor market, and (ii) result in a majority of each executive's total long-term incentive opportunity in the form of performance-based awards and the remaining percent of each executive's total long-term incentive opportunity in the form of retention awards. Long-term incentive awards are intended to provide a similar pay component as equity-based compensation at peer IOUs. Since TVA does not issue equity, the compensation program cannot provide a component similar to equity awards that capture long-term value, reflect the continuing efforts of executives, and have the potential for significant appreciation. As a result, TVA's long-term incentives are not necessarily intended to match market pay levels. 191 Table of Contents Target incentive opportunities increase with position scope and responsibility to hold management accountable for delivery of results and are based in part on the opportunities other companies in TVA's peer group provide to those in similar positions. Incentive opportunities are typically reviewed annually to consider changes in benchmark annual and long-term incentives. The Committee reviews peer benchmark information by position for each component of pay as well as for overall TDC. Non-Direct Compensation Elements Other Compensation In order to recruit high-quality talent, TVA may offer recruitment awards as well as relocation assistance and reimbursement. These types of deferred cash incentive awards are intended to compensate the individuals for amounts they may have forfeited from their previous employer in order to join TVA and/or provide substitute compensation when the individual is not eligible to receive certain incentive payments until a future date. In 2021, Mr. Lyash received the third of three annual installments of a deferred cash recruitment and relocation incentive that was part of his employment offer. The third installment of $292,000 was paid to Mr. Lyash in September 2021. In 2021, Mr. Fountain received the second of two annual installments of a deferred cash relocation incentive that was part of his employment offer. The second installment of $100,000 was paid to Mr. Fountain in June 2021. Mr. Fountain also received the second of three annual installments of a deferred cash recruitment incentive that was part of his employment offer. The second installment of $350,000 was paid to Mr. Fountain in June 2021. In 2021, Mr. Moul received the first of three annual installments of a deferred cash recruitment and relocation incentive that was part of his employment offer. The first installment of $650,000 was paid to Mr. Moul in June 2021. Retirement Benefits TVA provides its NEOs with retirement benefits through its qualified plans as well as through a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP") in order to provide compensation beginning with retirement or termination of employment (if vesting requirements are satisfied), with enhanced compensation for certain executives to provide an additional incentive for hiring and retention of qualified individuals. TVA sponsors a qualified defined benefit plan ("pension plan") and a qualified defined contribution plan ("401(k) plan"), which are administered by the TVA Retirement System ("TVARS"). The availability of, and level of benefits provided by, these qualified plans are comparable to similar qualified plans provided by companies in TVA's peer group. In addition to its qualified retirement plans, TVA has a SERP for selected executives who are critical to the ongoing success of the enterprise. TVA's SERP is a non-qualified plan that provides supplemental pension benefits at compensation levels that are higher than the limits specified by IRS regulations for qualified pension plans. The provision of such non-qualified plans to executives is a common practice among companies in TVA's peer group. The purpose of the SERP is to: • Provide a competitive retirement benefit level that cannot be delivered solely through TVA's qualified retirement plans due to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") limitations, and • Provide a benefit level (as a percentage replacement of pre-retirement pay) that is more comparable to that of employees who are not subject to the IRS limitations. More information regarding these retirement benefits is found following the Pension Benefits Table. Health and Other Benefits TVA offers a group of health and other benefits (medical, dental, vision, life and accidental death and disability insurance, and long-term disability insurance) that are available to a broad group of employees. The NEOs are eligible to participate in TVA's health benefit plans and other non-retirement benefit plans on the same terms and at the same contribution rates as other TVA employees. 192 Table of Contents 2021 Performance Goals and Performance Achievement Strategic Priorities Incentive Compensation Metrics A significant portion of each NEO's compensation is based on company performance and influenced by individual performance achievements. As a result, a majority of NEO compensation is at-risk, providing incentive for the executive to achieve superior performance for TVA and for the businesses, communities, and residents it serves, both in the short term and in the years to come. Incentive compensation is provided to NEOs under the EAIP and LTIP. Each incentive award is described below. People Advantage Amplifying the energy, passion and creativity within each TVA employee Safety- Serious Injury Incident Rate Operational Excellence Building on TVA's best-in-class reputation for reliable service and competitively priced power External Performance Indicators for the TVA Nuclear Fleet Nuclear Unit Capability Factor Combined Cycle Equivalent Availability Factor Coal Equivalent Availability Factor Load Not Served Financial Strength Investing in the future, while keeping energy costs as low as possible Total Financing Obligations Cash Flow from Operating Activities Total Spend Net Income Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power Powerful Partnerships Promoting progress through the shared success of TVA's customers and stakeholders Jobs Created and Retained Stakeholder Survey Customer Survey Media Tone (awards granted before 2021) Igniting Innovation Pursuing innovative solutions for TVA and its customers and communities Executive Annual Incentive Plan All TVA employees participate in an annual incentive program (subject to eligibility requirements), since every employee contributes to the success of TVA and the execution of its Public Power mission. While the metrics used for annual incentives are the same for all employees, they are provided under two plans: the WPTIP provides for annual incentive awards for eligible non-executives, and the EAIP provides for annual incentive awards for eligible executives, including the NEOs. The EAIP is designed to encourage and reward executives for successfully achieving annual financial and operational goals. For 2021, each NEO's annual incentive payment was calculated as follows: EAIP Amount = Annual Salary × Annual Target Incentive Opportunity × Percent of Scorecard Opportunity Achieved (0% to 150%) × Corporate Multiplier (0 to 1.00) × Individual Performance Multiplier (0% to 150%) Each component of this calculation is discussed below (except for annual salary, which is discussed above). The award for certain participants in the WPTIP and the EAIP may be adjusted by the participant's supervisor based on an evaluation of the participant's individual achievements and performance during the year. In addition, pursuant to discretion granted under the TVA Compensation Plan, awards may be further adjusted by the TVA Board or the CEO (1) as a result of any unusual or nonrecurring event affecting TVA or the financial statements of TVA or (2) as a result of changes in business conditions or the business strategy of TVA. 193 Table of Contents Annual Target Incentive Opportunity The TVA Board evaluated the appropriateness of the EAIP award opportunities for the CEO and made no changes for 2021. Similarly, the CEO evaluated the appropriateness of the EAIP award opportunities for the other NEOs (except for Mr. Fountain and Mr. Moul, who were not NEOs at the end of 2020), and made no changes for 2021. Accordingly, target EAIP award opportunities of the NEOs for 2021 were as follows: Named Executive Officers 2021 Target Annual Incentive Opportunity (1) Mr. Lyash 150 % Mr. Thomas 80 % Mr. Rausch 70 % Mr. Fountain 70 % Mr. Moul 70 % Mr. Skaggs 80 % Note (1) Represents a percent of each NEO's annual salary. 194 Table of Contents 2021 Incentive Plan Performance Metrics The metrics used to measure performance under the WPTIP and EAIP are the same for all TVA employees. These metrics tie directly to key enterprise metrics used by senior management in its annual budget and strategic planning process, which in turn tie directly to the achievement of TVA's strategic objectives and mission. The 2021 WPTIP and EAIP metrics and goals were set out in an organizational scorecard ("TVA Enterprise Scorecard") applicable to all employees. The 2021 performance measures, along with the weighting ascribed to each, are shown below as a percentage of the total WPTIP/EAIP award opportunity at target-level performance. 2021 WPTIP/EAIP METRICS The 2021 WPTIP/EAIP metrics are described in detail below. TVA Total Spend What this measures: TVA's ability to keep costs low Total Non-Fuel Operating and Maintenance, Capital, Non-Fuel Inventory, and Cloud Implementation expenses for corporate and operational Strategic Business Unit organizations (excludes Board of Directors). Why Is This Metric Used? Supports the overall TVA goal of maintaining costs and managing rates based on spending levels approved by TVA management and the TVA Board. Load Not Served What this measures: Transmission system outages that affect TVA customers Load Not Served ("LNS") is a measure of the magnitude and duration of transmission system outages that affect TVA customers expressed in System Minutes. An automatic customer interruption with a duration of one minute or greater is tracked as a LNS event. LNS events caused by TVA on a distributor system will also count as a TVA event even if the TVA system remains energized. LNS excludes interruptions due to declared major events, variances, gunfire, vandalism, and verified tornadoes. Why Is This Metric Used? TVA manages this critical indicator to reduce the impact of customer outages. Annualized Nuclear Unit Capability Factor What this measures: Nuclear plant availability Annualized Nuclear Unit Capability Factor is the ratio of available energy generation, which excludes events outside of management control, over a given period of time to the reference energy generation over the same time period. Why Is This Metric Used? Monitors progress in attaining high unit and energy production reliability. Combined Cycle Equivalent Availability Factor What this measures: Combined cycle plant reliability Combined Cycle Equivalent Availability Factor ("EAF") reflects the percentage of time over a given period that a generating unit was available to generate power for TVA combined cycle generating assets, based on Generating Availability Data System ("GADS") event reporting guidelines for megawatt hour losses. Combined Cycle EAF excludes events classified as outside management control and variances. Why Is This Metric Used? Combined Cycle EAF focuses on ensuring TVA combined cycle generating assets are available and reliable to meet system demand. Coal Equivalent Availability Factor What this measures: Coal plant reliability Coal EAF reflects the percentage of time over a given period that a generating unit was available to generate power for TVA coal-fired generating assets, based on GADS event reporting guidelines for megawatt hour losses. Coal EAF excludes events classified as outside management control and variances. Why Is This Metric Used? Coal EAF focuses on ensuring TVA coal generating assets are available and reliable to meet system demand. In setting the goal for each metric, consideration is given to TVA's historic performance, its strategic business plan priorities and strategic benchmarking goals, customer and stakeholder feedback, environmental and regulatory concerns and goals, and the competitive environment. Achievement of the target goal would result in a 100 percent payout with respect to that goal. A threshold goal is also set for each metric, so that no payout would occur with respect to metrics that fail to achieve that threshold. Additionally, a stretch goal for each metric is set to incentivize and reward exceptional performance. Linear interpolation is used for results between threshold and stretch goals. 195 Table of Contents 2021 Executive Annual Incentive Plan Results The performance results on the 2021 TVA Enterprise Scorecard are set forth below. Performance resulted in a 142 percent payout (on a scale from 0 percent – 150 percent payout). TVA'S 2021 ENTERPRISE SCORECARD PERFORMANCE Note (1) On April 30, 2021, the CEO approved a revision to the performance goals for the Annualized Nuclear Unit Capability Factor measure. The revision is described above in Notable 2021 Actions – Changes to Performance Goals to Account for External Factors and Impacts Beyond Management Control – Performance Goals – 2021 Annual Incentive Award. Corporate Multiplier Allows TVA Board to Adjust for Overall Performance As in previous years, the TVA Board approved the use of a corporate multiplier for the 2021 WPTIP/EAIP program. The corporate multiplier ranges between 0 and 1.0 and can be used only for purposes of reducing the amount of the award. The multiplier was based on performance in 2021 against goals set in November 2020 for six organizational metrics. For 2021, the TVA Board determined that the corporate multiplier should be 1.0 based on the following: • Continued strong safety performance – top quartile in SIIR • Strong financial health and performance • Efforts continued to attract and encourage the expansion of business and industries in 2021 • Over $8.8 billion in investments, and • Approximately 80,900 jobs created or retained • Achieved outstanding results despite the challenges associated with the continued COVID-19 Why does the TVA Board use a multiplier? The multiplier allows the TVA Board to qualitatively assess the organization's performance, emphasizing the importance of safety, financial health, reputation, and economic development. 196 Table of Contents Corporate Multiplier Factors Metric Definition Why Is This Metric Used? Safety – Serious Injury Incident Rate (SIIR) A mathematical calculation used by Edison Electric Institute that quantifies the extent of injury for serious injuries and fatalities from events within the control of the employee and/or the employer. TVA shares a professional and personal commitment to protect the safety of its employees, its contractors, its customers, and those in communities that TVA serves. Total Financing Obligations (TFO) and Liabilities All statutory debt and other financing obligations. TFO and Liabilities is calculated by subtracting contributions to unfunded liabilities from the sum of (1) long-term debt, net (including unamortized premiums/discounts), (2) short-term debt, net, (3) leaseback obligations, (4) energy prepayment obligations, and (5) variable interest entities. TVA's TFOs are driven by its business plan and reflect the application of financial guiding principles. Focusing on this measure will improve TVA's fiscal performance and strengthen TVA's balance sheet. Cash Flow from Operating Activities Amount of cash generated from power production and other mission-related activities and generally defined as operating revenues received less cash payments made for operating expenses. See Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information. Cash Flow from Operating Activities is considered a key indicator of overall financial health as it measures TVA's ability to use cash received from customers to sufficiently fund outgoing cash expenditures. Net Income Consists of the organization’s net earnings derived by adjusting revenues for the cost of doing business, including the cost of sales, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other expenses. See Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Consolidated Statements of Operations for additional information. Standard accounting measure that provides a view of TVA's financial performance position. Jobs Created and Retained Measures the number of new or retained jobs in the Tennessee Valley for which TVA has played a role in the recruitment or retention of the economic development project. Tracks its progress using an industry standard measure. Jobs Created and Retained is a measure that economic developers can speak to and easily understand, and an established tracking mechanism is in place to measure TVA's economic development efforts. Board Level Significant Events Includes items deemed significant by the TVA Board of Directors. These items may affect TVA's reputation with its customers and its stakeholders, the organizational health of the workforce, or its impact on the public at large. Both favorable and unfavorable events will be considered. An incentive pay program, by design, cannot cover the entire scope of activities that could occur during a given cycle. This measure allows the TVA Board to deem certain reputational, environmental, or other items as significant impacts to TVA's business. Items that may be considered significant (either favorably or unfavorably) include customer survey results, stakeholder survey results, key indicators of organizational health, environmental events, or other major events not covered in other performance measures. The TVA Board and the CEO jointly qualitatively assessed TVA’s performance at the end of the 2021 performance period. Based on the performance of the 2021 corporate multiplier measures, the TVA Board determined to apply a 1.0 multiplier, or no reduction to the calculated WPTIP/EAIP payout. 197 Table of Contents CORPORATE MULTIPLIER MEASURES (0.0 – 1.0 MULTIPLIER) Note (1) Includes impact of partnership credits. Partnership credits are wholesale bill credits provided to local power company customers who are party to 20-year Partnership Agreements with TVA. For more information, see Item 1, Business — Rates . Individual Performance Multiplier Reinforces Pay for Performance Annually, individual goals for the NEOs are established at the beginning of each performance cycle. These goals tie to the achievement of TVA's mission and strategic objectives. A 50 percent weighting is assigned to business goals, and a 50 percent weighting is assigned to leadership competencies. No numerical measures are assigned to the goals. Rather, at the end of the performance period, the CEO assesses the performance of the other NEOs and informs the Committee of his decision on a multiplier for each NEO. For the CEO Individual Performance Multiplier, each TVA Board member assesses the CEO's performance at the end of a performance period on a scale of 1–5, with "5" representing superior performance. Results of the assessment are provided to the TVA Board Chair who, after consultation with the Committee, determines the multiplier to be applied to the CEO. For each NEO, the individual performance multiplier can range between 0% to 150% of the calculated payout and can be used to reduce (multiplier below 100%) or increase (multiplier above 100%) the amount of the award. For 2021, the NEOs were evaluated on individual performance goals and the following leadership competencies: Leadership Competencies Inspiring Trust and Engagement Continuous Improvement Vision, Innovation, & Strategic Execution Leadership Courage Building Organizational Talent Accountability and Driving Results Adaptability Business Acumen Effective Communication Leveraging Diversity The 2021 individual multipliers and award payouts to the NEOs under the 2021 EAIP are described under each executive's compensation scorecard under 2021 Pay Decisions - 2021 NEO Pay Decisions and Compensation Scorecards below. Award payouts are also reported in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column in the Executive Compensation Tables and Narrative Disclosures - Summary Compensation Table. 198 Table of Contents Long-Term Incentive Plan Compensation Certain executives in critical positions, including the NEOs, participate in the company's long-term incentive plan. These individuals make decisions that significantly influence the development and execution of TVA's long-term strategic objectives. As such, awards under TVA's LTIP are designed to reward executives for sustainable success. Since long-term success is supported by a commitment to continued employment, the NEOs are incentivized to remain with the company through the cliff vesting feature of the long-term performance awards and through long-term retention awards. LONG-TERM AWARDS REWARD LONG-TERM SUCCESS LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS • Enterprise-wide performance criteria that are directly aligned with TVA's mission • "Cumulative" performance approach to measure performance achieved over a three-year period with a new three-year performance cycle beginning each year • Potential payment range of 0 percent to 150 percent of target incentive opportunity to enable awards that are commensurate with performance achievements • Award opportunities established for each performance cycle at or below median levels of competitiveness with TVA's peer group • LTP awards vest upon the completion of the three-year performance period, contingent upon continued employment through vesting date and subject to achievement of performance goals • LTR awards vest in one-third increments over three years, contingent upon continued employment on each vesting date The TVA Board and Mr. Lyash evaluated the appropriateness of the long-term incentive award opportunities for the CEO and other NEOs, respectively. For 2021, the value of both the long-term performance award (at target) and the long-term retention awards were increased from 2020 levels, for Mr. Lyash, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Skaggs, so that TDC moved closer to market median, following a review of benchmarking and individual performance and reflective of increased tenure. Accordingly, target long-term incentive award opportunities of the NEOs for 2021 were as follows: Named Executive Officers 2021–2023 LTP (1) Value at target (2) % Increase from 2020–2022 LTP target value 2021 LTR (1) Value (2) % Increase from 2020 LTR award value Mr. Lyash 264.9 % $ 2,914,100 24.5 % 113.5 % $ 1,248,900 23.2 % Mr. Thomas (3) 135.8 % $ 1,039,000 6.0 % 57.6 % $ 441,000 5.0 % Mr. Rausch 90.6 % $ 500,000 — % 59.8 % $ 330,000 — % Mr. Fountain (4) 104.2 % $ 562,500 50.0 % 58.6 % $ 316,500 N/A Mr. Moul (5) 77.0 % $ 588,750 — % 77.0 % $ 588,750 — % Mr. Skaggs 170.3 % $ 1,175,000 18.7 % 73.1 % $ 504,000 17.5 % Notes (1) Represents a percent of each NEO's salary. (2) Amount may be prorated based on time in role. (3) Effective June 7, 2021, in connection with job title change and additional scope and responsibilities, Mr. Thomas was awarded a prorated grant of $1,039,000, which replaced the 2021-2023 LTP grant of $1,000,000 made on October 1, 2020, and a prorated LTR grant of $441,000, which replaced the 2021-2023 LTR grant of $432,000 made on October 1, 2020. (4) Effective March 5, 2021, in connection with selection to his position, Mr. Fountain was awarded a prorated grant of $562,500, which replaced the 2021-2023 LTP grant of $375,000 made on October 1, 2020, and a prorated LTR grant of $316,500, which replaced the 2021-2023 LTR grant of $249,000 made on October 1, 2020. Mr. Fountain joined TVA in 2020 and was not eligible for a LTR award in 2020. (5) Effective June 21, 2021, in connection with his employment with TVA, Mr. Moul was awarded three prorated LTP grants: $588,750 for the 2021-2023 LTP cycle, $327,083 for the 2020-2022 LTP cycle, and $65,417 for the 2019-2021 LTP cycle; and three prorated LTR grants: $588,750 for 2021-2023, $218,056 for 2020-2022, and $21,806 for 2019-2021. All of these grants were based on a target grant amount of $785,000 and prorated based on time in role during each performance cycle. 199 Table of Contents Long-Term Performance Awards TVA's executive compensation program provides for an annual grant of a LTP award with a three-year performance period. During 2021, there were three overlapping LTP awards: 2019–2021 LTP Award Vested September 30, 2021 2020–2022 LTP Award Vesting September 30, 2022 2021–2023 LTP Award Vesting September 30, 2023 The performance metrics and threshold, target, and stretch goals for each metric are determined annually by the TVA Board. Following the TVA Board's approval of performance achievement at the end of each three-year performance period, awards are paid out in cash early in the subsequent fiscal year. Target performance provides for a 100 percent payout opportunity, performance below threshold provides for no payout, performance at threshold provides for a 50 percent payout opportunity, and performance at stretch provides for a 150 percent payout opportunity. Linear interpolation is used for results between threshold and stretch goals. The TVA Board can use its discretion to adjust the final payout for LTP awards based on achievements, peer group comparisons, and performance over the performance cycle. LTP Incentive Amount = Target Value × Percent of Opportunity Achieved (0% to 150%) For the three-year performance period ended September 30, 2021, the TVA Board previously approved three overall long-term incentive measures of TVA performance to be applied to all participants in the LTP. The 2019–2021 performance measures, along with the weighting ascribed to each, are shown below as a percentage of the total LTP award opportunity at target-level performance. 200 Table of Contents 2019-2021 LTP PERFORMANCE METRICS The 2019–2021 LTP metrics are described in detail below. Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power What this measures: Non-fuel expenses (cents/kWh) The Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power performance measure is a financial measure. The Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power measure is equal to the sum of (i) non-fuel operating and maintenance ("O&M") expense, (ii) base capital expense, (iii) interest expense, and (iv) other expense divided by budgeted electric power sales. Why Is This Metric Used? This measure drives performance through activities that management can control. It aligns with TVA's strategic objective of maintaining low rates and focuses on aligning TVA’s non-fuel costs associated with generation, transmission, statutory mission services, and additional customer services with revenue. Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power supports retail rate objectives and aligns to the Business Plan commitment. Load Not Served What this measures: Transmission system outages that affect TVA customers Load Not Served ("LNS") is a measure of the magnitude and duration of transmission system outages that affect TVA customers expressed in system minutes. An automatic customer interruption with a duration of one minute or greater is tracked as an LNS event. LNS events caused by TVA on a distributor system will also count as a TVA event even if the TVA system remains energized. LNS excludes interruptions due to declared major events, variances, gunfire, vandalism, and verified tornadoes. Why Is This Metric Used? An automatic customer interruption with a duration of one minute or greater is tracked as an LNS event. TVA manages this critical indicator to reduce the impact of customer outages. External Measures What this measures: External perception and reputational events External Performance Indicators for the TVA Nuclear Fleet – Weighted combination of key nuclear performance indicators based on standard nuclear industry definitions for station performance. Media Tone – Measures the percent of positive and balanced media coverage out of total TVA news coverage. Stakeholder Survey – Conducted among the general public, public officials, economic development leaders, and business/community leaders in the TVA service area to assess public opinion of TVA. Customer Survey – Annual survey of LPCs and Direct-Serve Customers focused on better understanding customer loyalty and related performance drivers. Board Level Significant Events – Items (both favorable and unfavorable) that the Board deems significant and that affect TVA's reputation, organizational health, or the public at large Why Is This Metric Used? Targets for these measures represent incremental improvement in external perceptions of TVA's performance and brand. 201 Table of Contents Consistent with its public power mission, TVA's long-term performance metrics include the results of surveys that assess the external reputation and perception of TVA and TVA's effectiveness in carrying out its mission and strategic objectives. These metrics reflect TVA's focus on meeting or exceeding customer expectations and identifying areas for continuous improvement. In setting the goal for each metric, the TVA Board considers budgeted amounts in the company's approved business plans, actual performance in recent years, and level of achievability. The TVA Board also considers TVA's strategic business plan priorities and strategic benchmarking goals, customer and stakeholder feedback, environmental and regulatory concerns and goals, and the competitive environment. Achievement of the target goal would result in a 100 percent payout opportunity with respect to that goal. A threshold goal is also set for each metric, so that no payout would occur with respect to metrics that fail to achieve that threshold. Additionally, a stretch goal for each metric is set to incentivize and reward exceptional performance. Linear interpolation is used for results between threshold and stretch goals. 2019–2021 LTP Award Performance Results The performance results on the 2021 TVA Enterprise Scorecard are set forth below. Performance resulted in a payout of 132 percent of target opportunity. 2019–2021 Long-Term Performance Scorecard Notes (1) For the 2019–2021 performance cycle, the Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power measure was calculated using an average of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 results. (2) For the 2019–2021 performance cycle, the Load Not Served measure was calculated using an average of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 results. (3) For the 2019–2021 performance cycle, the External Measures metrics were calculated using an average of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 results (except for the External Performance Indicators for the TVA Nuclear Fleet measure, which was based on 2021 results). (4) For the 2019-2021 performance cycle, the External Performance Indicators for the Nuclear Fleet measure was calculated using 2021 results. On April 29, 2021, the Board approved a revision to the External Performance Indicators for the Nuclear Fleet measure. The revision is described above in Notable 2021 Actions – Changes to Performance Goals to Account for External Factors and Impacts Beyond Management Control – Performance Goals – 2019-2021 LTP Awards. 202 Table of Contents In reviewing the 2019–2021 performance period, the TVA Board considered strong performance in several areas, including key areas where perf ormance exceeded target expectations: ü Achieved record-setting safety rates in 2020 and 2021 • Top decile performance for TVA’s Recordable Injury Rate in 2021 • Top quartile performance for TVA’s Serious Injury Rate in 2021 ü Strong transmission system reliability performance – 2020 and 2021 were the two best years on record ü Strong financial performance • In 2020, TVA achieved and surpassed its strategic goal of reducing debt to $21.8 billion by 2023, and made even further reductions in debt in 2021 • TFOs of $20.5 billion are the lowest in over 30 years • Lower interest expense in 2021 compared to 2020 mainly due to lower debt levels • Issued Green Bond offering, with lowest interest rate on a 10-year financing in TVA history ü Strengthened customer relationships: • 95% of 153 LPCs have signed with TVA under 20-year Partnership Agreement • Made $1 billion of credit available to LPCs and offered regulatory relief and flexibility so LPCs could help their communities • Continued Back-to-Business Credit Program established in 2020 • Continued to partner with LPCs through the Community Care Fund established in 2020 • Strong Media Tone results in 2021 show significant improvement over 2020 performance • Three-year Stakeholder Survey results approached level considered “outstanding” by survey provider; strong 2021 results show improvement over performance period • Customer Survey reflects high commitment levels and improved scores from 2020 to 2021 ü Continued efforts in 2019-2021 to attract and encourage the expansion of business and industries, resulting in $26.4 billion in investments and approximately 215,000 jobs created or retained ü Launched enterprise IwD Council The TVA Board determined that the calculated payout appropriately reflected executive performance in executing on TVA's long-term priorities and did not exercise its discretion to adjust the calculated payout. Payouts to the NEO s for the 2019–2021 LTP Award are described under each executive's compensation scorecard under 2021 Pay Decisions – 2021 NEO Pay Decisions and Compensation Scorecards below and reported in the Executive Compensation Tables and Narrative Disclosures -Summary Compensation Table under "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation." 2020–2022 Outstanding LTP Performance Cycle The TVA Board previously approved the following overall LTP measures of TVA performance for all participants for the three-year cycle ending September 30, 2022 (awards to be paid in November 2022): Notes (1) Metric has same definition as for the 2019-2021 LTP awards.

On August 18, 2021, the Board approved a revision to the External Performance Indicators for the Nuclear Fleet measure. The 203 Table of Contents revision is described above in Notable 2021 Actions – Changes to Performance Goals to Account for External Factors and Impacts Beyond Management Control – Performance Goals – 2020-2022 LTP and 2021-2023 LTP Awards . (5) Comprised of Media Tone, Stakeholder Survey and Customer Survey, which have the same definitions as for the 2019-2021 LTP awards. Board Level Significant Events was removed as a metric. For the 2020-2022 performance cycle, the External Measures metrics will be calculated using an average of results for each of 2020, 2021, and 2022. 2021–2023 Outstanding LTP Performance Cycle In November 2020, the TVA Board approved the following overall LTP measures of TVA performance for all participants for the three-year cycle ending September 30, 2023 (awards to be paid in November 2023): Notes (1) Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power = (Operating and Maintenance Expense + Base Capital Expense + Interest Expense + Other Expense) / Budgeted Electric Power Sales. For the 2021-2023 performance cycle, the Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power measure will be calculated using an average of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 results. (2) Load Not Served = (Percentage of Total Load Not Served) x (Number of Minutes in the Period). The Load Not Served measure excludes events during declared major events, variances, gunfire, vandalism, and verified tornadoes and includes distributor provided load not served estimates for distributor connection point interruptions caused by TVA. For the 2021-2023 performance cycle, the Load Not Served measure will be calculated using an average of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 results. (3) The External Performance Indicators for TVA Nuclear Fleet measure is calculated using a weighted combination of key performance indicators based on standard nuclear industry definitions for station performance, with the maximum obtainable being 100 points. (4) For the 2021-2023 performance cycle, the External Performance Indicators for the Nuclear Fleet measure will be calculated using 2023 results. On August 18, 2021, the Board approved a revision to the External Performance Indicators for the Nuclear Fleet measure. The revision is described above in Notable 2021 Actions – Changes to Performance Goals to Account for External Factors and Impacts Beyond Management Control – Performance Goals – 2020-2022 LTP and 2021-2023 LTP Awards . (5) For the 2021-2023 performance cycle, the Stakeholder Survey metric will be the average score of a survey conducted among the general public, public officials, economic development leaders, and business and community leaders in the TVA service area to assess public opinion of TVA. This measure will be calculated using an average of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 results. (6) For the 2021-2023 performance cycle, the Customer Survey metric will be a composite score of customer survey results based on responses to key survey questions related to the impact of customer experience on loyalty to TVA. This measure will be calculated using an average of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 results. External Performance Indicators for the TVA Nuclear Fleet, Customer Survey, and Stakeholder Survey remain measures but are no longer components o f External Measures, which has been removed as a composite metric. Additionally, Media Tone has been removed as a metric, and the weighting for Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power has been increased to 45%. Long-Term Retention Awards As a corporate agency of the U.S., TVA does not have equity securities that it can use to provide stock awards, options, or other equity-based awards as compensation for its employees. The purpose of the retention awards under the LTIP is to provide a retention incentive similar to restricted stock or restricted stock units. These grants are intended to encourage executives to remain with TVA and to provide, in combination with salary, EAIP, and LTP grants, a competitive level of TDC. Grants are generally effective as of October 1 and will become one-third vested on each subsequent September 30 or upon death, disability, or retirement if earlier on a pro-rated basis. Each award will be paid in a lump sum within two months of vesting. 204 Table of Contents 2021 Long-Term Retention Award Grant Following the market assessment conducted by FW Cook, effective October 1, 2020, TVA granted LTR awards to the NEOs. These awards vest in three equal tranches on September 30, 2021, September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2023, contingent upon continued employment on each vesting date. The amounts of these awards are set forth under "Long-Term Incentive Compensation" above. 2021 Vesting of Outstanding Retention Awards LTR awards that vested in 2021 are described under 2021 Pay Decisions - 2021 NEO Pay Decisions and Compensation Scorecards below and are reported in the Executive Compensation Tables and Narrative Disclosures - Summary Compensation Table under "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation ." The vesting schedule for the three LTR awards outstanding in 2021 is set forth below. 2021 VESTING OF OUTSTANDING RETENTION AWARDS Notes (1) Mr. Lyash did not receive a 2019 LTR grant. (2) Mr. Fountain did not receive a 2020 LTR grant 2021 Pay Decisions 2021 CEO Pay Decisions Overview CEO PAY EARNED IN 2021 Base Salary $ 1,100,000 Annual Performance Incentive under Executive Annual Incentive Plan $ 2,928,750 142 percent of target enterprise performance achieved Reflects Individual Performance Multiplier of 125 percent Long-Term Performance Incentive $ 2,671,680 132 percent of long-term performance achieved for the three-year performance cycle ended September 30, 2021 Long-Term Retention Incentive $ 754,300 2021 tranche of 2020 LTR and 2021 LTR awards Each year, the Committee makes two key compensation decisions with respect to CEO compensation: the amount of TDC opportunity (which is forward-looking and incentivizes the CEO to perform), and the amount of TDC earned (which rewards the CEO for his prior performance). 205 Table of Contents 2021 CEO Total Direct Compensation Opportunity On February 11, 2021, the TVA Board approved compensation adjustments for Mr. Lyash for 2021, increasing each component of Mr. Lyash's TDC over 2020 levels. The adjustments were made following FW Cook’s independent study and market analysis of CEO compensation, Mr. Lyash's increased tenure with TVA, his 2020 performance, and an intent to narrow the gap to the 50th percentile of CEO market compensation while being mindful of TVA’s federal agency status. The target TDC opportunity granted to Mr. Lyash in 2021 is illustrated below. CEO 2021 TARGET TOTAL DIRECT COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITY 2021 CEO TARGET TOTAL DIRECT COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITY BELOW MARKET (1) Note (1) Target market assessment effective October 2020 and included market composite of WTW database and proxy peer group. 206 Table of Contents 2021 CEO Total Direct Compensation Earned The TDC that Mr. Lyash earned for 2021 reflected company and individual performance that exceeded targets. CEO 2021 TOTAL DIRECT COMPENSATION EARNED Note (1) Since Mr. Lyash joined TVA during 2019, payout under the 2019-2021 LTP award was prorated two-thirds to reflect his service during two of the three performance years. The annual incentive award that Mr. Lyash received reflected an Individual Performance Multiplier of 125 percent . The Committee and TVA Board were extremely pleased with Mr. Lyash's performance for 2021. See 2021 Pay Decisions - 2021 NEO Pay Decisions and Compensation Scorecards below for more information. In addition to TDC Earned (as shown in the table above), Mr. Lyash was paid $292,000 in 2021 as the third and final tranche of a recruitment and relocation incentive under his employment offer letter. This incentive was intended to compensate him for amounts he forfeited from his previous employer in order to join TVA, as well as to provide some measure of substitute compensation in light of his not being eligible to receive any LTP incentive payments until September 2021. Why Total Compensation Earned Differs From Compensation Reported 2021 CEO TOTAL COMPENSATION COMPONENTS • Amounts are estimates of the pension/SERP benefits earned for service during the prior year, determined using assumptions consistent with those used in the financial statements in this Annual Report, set forth in Note 22 - Benefit Plans . Unlike the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table, Mr. Lyash's TDC Earned represents the annual pay decisions by the Committee that specifically reflect its assessment of the company's performance and individual performance and reward the employee for satisfaction of incentive award conditions (enterprise performance and continued employment). Other elements included in the Summary Compensation Table , such as changes in pension values and vesting of recruitment and relocation incentives, are excluded from TDC Earned because they do not relate to performance and are outside the scope of the Committee's annual pay decisions. The Committee therefore believes that TDC Earned renders a more accurate and up-to-date reflection of its assessment of performance. 207 Table of Contents CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, TVA is providing the following information regarding the annual total compensation of TVA's CEO position and the annual total compensation of the median employee of the company: • The total compensation for the CEO position for 2021 was $9,882,680. • For 2021, the median employee's annual total compensation was $139,953. Based on this information, the pay ratio of the total compensation for the CEO position to the median employee was approximately 71 to 1. To identify the median employee and to determine the annual total compensation of the median employee, TVA took the following steps: • TVA selected September 30, 2021, as the date on which to identify its median employee. On September 30, 2021, TVA's employee population (including full-time, part-time, and temporary employees) consisted of 10,129 individuals located in the U.S. • In order to identify the median employee from its employee population, TVA compared the compensation that would be included in Box 5 (Medicare Wages and Tips) of Form W-2, which includes salary, overtime, and incentive compensation, for the period from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021. Box 5 compensation was used as it is representative of the compensation received by all employees and is readily available and objective. • After identifying its median employee, TVA calculated that employee's compensation for 2021 as though that compensation was being calculated for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, resulting in annual total compensation of $139,953. The above pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Because Item 402(u) provides companies with flexibility to select the methodology and assumptions used to identify the median employee and to calculate the pay ratio, the pay ratio reported by TVA may not be comparable to the pay ratios reported by other companies. 2021 CEO Pay Ratio Below Median Among Peers As reflected above, TVA's CEO target TDC is low compared to its 2021 compensation peer group on an absolute basis but is also low compared to its peers in the context of organizational pay ratios. As discussed fully under "CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure", the pay ratio of the total compensation for Mr. Lyash to the median TVA employee was approximat ely 71 t o 1 for 2021. Based on TVA's 2021 pay ratio and the pay ratio disclosed in its peers' most recent public disclosures, TVA's pay ratio is below the 50th percentile. Peers used are those shown under Proxy Peer Group of Investor-Owned Utilities in the List of Compensation Peer Companies . 2021 CEO PAY RATIO VS. PEERS 2021 NEO Pay Decisions and Compensation Scorecards The following pages show each NEO's 2021 Total Direct Compensation earned, 2021 TDC opportunities granted, and the Committee's (or the CEO's in the case of NEOs other than the CEO) rationale for those pay decisions. 208 Table of Contents JEFFREY J. LYASH President and CEO Joined TVA April 2019 2021 TOTAL DIRECT COMPENSATION EARNED $7,454,730 Base Salary. Mr. Lyash's salary was increased 3.97 percent to $1,100,000 for 2021, reflecting superior performance and positioning to a more competitive base salary. This amount is below the 2021 compensation peer group median. EAIP Payment Earned. Organizational performance under the TVA EAIP Scorecard exceeded target for all measures, resulting in a 142 percent payout percentage. Company performance under the TVA Corporate Multiplier measures was strong for nearly all measures despite the continued challenges presented by COVID-19. As a result, the TVA Board approved a 1.0 Corporate Multiplier. The TVA Board approved an Individual Performance Multiplier of 125 percent for Mr. Lyash for 2021 given his superior performance, including those considerations noted under 2021 Individual Performance Highlights. Long-Term Incentives Earned Long-Term Performance Awards Earned. Organizational performance under the 2019–2021 LTP program was stronger than expected in key operational measures, resulting in significantly lower than expected Non-Fuel Delivered Cost of Power and Load Not Served. However, several external measures were below target. In light of strong safety, reliability, and financial performance, the TVA Board determined that the 132 percent calculated payout appropriately reflected executive performance in executing on TVA's long-term priorities and did not exercise its discretion to adjust the payout. Long-Term Retention Award Earned. Mr. Lyash earned $754,300 in 2021 upon the vesting of the 2021 tranches of his 2020 and 2021 LTR program awards. The LTR awards vest ratably over a three-year period, subject to continued employment on each vesting date. Long-Term Incentive Opportunities Granted 2021–2023 Long-Term Performance Award Opportunity. Effective October 1, 2020, Mr. Lyash was granted a 2021–2023 LTP program award with a target opportunity of $2,914,100, which will vest on September 30, 2023. Actual payout will depend on performance against targets at the end of the three-year performance period. 2021 Long-Term Retention Award Opportunity. Effective October 1, 2020, Mr. Lyash was granted a 2021 LTR program award of $1,248,900 that vests ratably over a three-year period, subject to continued employment on each vesting date. The first tranche was earned in 2021 as described above. Other Compensation Recruitment and Relocation Incentive. Mr. Lyash was paid $292,000 in 2021 as the third tranche of a deferred cash recruitment and relocation incentive under his employment offer letter. This incentive was intended to compensate him for amounts he forfeited from his previous employer in order to join TVA, as well as to provide some measure of substitute compensation in light of his not being eligible to earn any long-term performance incentive payments until September 2021. 2021 INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS • TVA has maintained its high level of service and employees continued to deliver outstanding performance in all strategic areas of the company through the COVID-19 pandemic. • Outstanding system performance experienced during the record winter storm and summer heat wave. • Effective planning and response to COVID-19 through Pandemic Response Team and union partnerships focused on enhanced safety, well-being, and communications to support the workforce. • Established an enterprise IwD to advise, champion, and oversee IwD strategies across TVA and the communities it serves.

(2) Threshold, Target, and Maximum represent amounts that could be earned by an NEO based on performance during the applicable performance cycle. Threshold, Target, and Maximum targets for EAIP and LTIP are 50 percent, 100 percent, and 150 percent. (3) Target incentive opportunities as a percentage of salaries were as follows: Mr. Lyash, 150 percent; Mr. Thomas, 80 percent; Mr. Rausch, 70 percent; Mr. Fountain, 70 percent; Mr. Moul, 70 percent; and Mr. Skaggs, 80 percent. Additionally, a corporate multiplier ranging between 0.00 and 1.00 may be applied which can reduce the award to $0. An individual performance multiplier of up to 150 percent may also be applied which may increase the award to 225 percent of target. Actual EAIP awards earned for performance in 2021 are reported for each of the NEOs under the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column in the Summary Compensation Table. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of how each award was determined. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Fountain's target incentive opportunities are prorated based on the number of days worked in each position during the performance cycle. Mr. Moul did not work a full year, and his target incentive opportunity is prorated based on the numbers of days worked in the performance cycle. (4) Mr. Lyash's LTP award was granted October 1, 2019, and vested September 30, 2021. Mr. Moul's LTP award was granted as part of his employment offer and vested September 30, 2021. All other LTP awards were granted October 1, 2018, and vested September 30, 2021. At the end of the performance period, TVA's LTIP Scorecard was applied to the grants in order to determine award payouts. Award payouts are reported for each of the NEOs under the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column in the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Fountain did not participate in the 2019-2021 LTP program. (5) All LTR awards will be paid in a lump sum within two months of the September 30th vesting date. The awards will be paid in cash after deducting applicable federal, state, and local withholding taxes. In the case of death, the beneficiary will be paid as soon as administratively practicable but in no event later than the last day of the second full calendar month following the participant's death. Disability awards will be paid as soon as administratively practicable but in no event later than the last day of the second full calendar month following the participant's separation from service due to disability. Actual LTR awards earned in 2021 are reported for each of the NEOs under the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column in the Summary Compensation Table. (6) Mr. Fountain's LTP award was granted as part of his employment offer and will vest September 30, 2022. Mr. Moul's LTP award was granted as part of his employment offer and will vest September 30, 2022. All other LTP awards were granted effective October 1, 2019 and will vest September 30, 2022. At the end of the performance period, TVA's LTIP Scorecard will be applied to the grants in order to determine award payouts. The final award may be adjusted by the TVA Board based on the evaluation of the participant's individual achievements, peer group comparisons, and performance results over the performance cycle. (7) Mr. Moul's LTP award was granted as part of his employment offer and will vest September 30, 2023. All other LTP awards were originally granted October 1, 2020, and will vest September 30, 2023. Effective March 5, 2021, Mr. Fountain was awarded a prorated 2021-2023 LTP grant of $562,500, which will vest on September 30, 2023, and replaced the 2021-2023 LTP grant of $375,000 made on October 1, 2020. In addition, effective June 7, 2021, Mr. Thomas was awarded a prorated 2021-2023 LTP grant of $1,039,000, which will vest on September 30, 2023, and replaced the 2021-2023 LTP grant of $1,000,000 made on October 1, 2020. At the end of the performance period, TVA's LTIP Scorecard will be applied to the grants in order to determine award payouts. The final award may be adjusted by the TVA Board based on the evaluation of the participant's individual achievements, peer group comparisons, and performance results over the performance cycle.

(2) Mr. Lyash was granted five years of credited service for calculating his SERP benefit. In the event of involuntary termination except for cause prior to five years of actual service, the vesting requirement will be waived, and he will be entitled to the additional five years of granted credited service plus his actual years of service for calculating his SERP benefit. In the event of termination for cause or voluntary termination for any reason prior to five years of actual service, the vesting requirement will be waived and his SERP benefit will be calculated based on a total of five years of credited service. After five years of actual service with TVA, he will be granted five additional years of credited service for a total of 15 years of credited service for calculating his SERP benefit. As of September 30, 2021, Mr. Lyash had 2.417 years of service. The present value of the accumulated SERP benefit with 7.417 years of credited services is $6,156,339. The present value of the accumulated SERP benefit with 12.417 years of credited service is $10,352,820. (3) Mr. Lyash, Mr. Rausch, Mr. Fountain, and Mr. Moul are not eligible to participate in the TVARS Pension Plan since they were hired after June 30, 2014. (4) Mr. Skaggs has reached the 24-year service cap allowed under the SERP. Qualified Retirement Plans The retirement benefits for which employees are eligible and receive under the TVARS pension plan and 401(k) plan depend on the employee's hire date, years of service, and individual elections, as follows: • Employees who were first hired prior to January 1, 1996, receive (i) a traditional pension benefit calculated based on the employee's creditable service, the employee's average monthly salary for the highest three consecutive years of eligible compensation, and a pension factor based on the employee's age and years of service, less a Social Security offset, and (ii) 401(k) plan matching contributions from TVA. The 401(k) plan matching contribution is $0.25 on every dollar contributed by the employee up to six percent of eligible compensation, for a maximum matching contribution of 1.5 percent of eligible compensation. None of the NEOs are in this group. • Employees who were first hired prior to January 1, 1996, and who elected to switch pension structures from traditional to cash balance, receive (i) a cash balance pension benefit calculated based on (a) pay-based credits and interest that accrue over time in the employee's account and (b) the employee's age at the time of retirement, and (ii) 401(k) plan matching contributions from TVA. The monthly pay credits are equal to six percent of eligible compensation, and monthly interest is credited at an annual interest rate equal to the change in the CPI-U plus three percent (with a minimum of six percent and maximum of 10 percent). The interest rate during 2021 was six percent. The 401(k) plan matching contribution is $0.75 on every dollar contributed by the employee up to six percent of eligible compensation, for a maximum matching contribution of 4.5 percent of eligible compensation. Mr. Skaggs is in this group. • Employees who were first hired on or after January 1, 1996, and who had 10 or more years of service as of October 1, 2016, receive (i) a cash balance pension benefit calculated based on (a) pay-based credits and interest that accrue over time in the employee's account and (b) the employee's age at the time of retirement, and (ii) 401(k) plan non-elective and matching contributions from TVA. The monthly pay credits are equal to three percent of eligible compensation, and monthly interest is credited at an annual interest rate equal to the change in the CPI-U plus two percent (with a minimum of 4.75 percent and a 219 Table of Contents maximum of 6.25 percent). The interest rate during 2021 was 4.75 percent. The 401(k) plan automatic, non-elective contribution is equal to three percent of eligible compensation, and the matching contribution is $0.75 on every dollar contributed by the employee up to six percent of eligible compensation, for a maximum matching contribution of 4.5 percent of eligible compensation. Mr. Thomas is in this group. • Employees who were first hired on or after January 1, 1996, and who had less than 10 years of service as of October 1, 2016, receive (i) a cash balance pension benefit calculated based on pay-based credits and interest that accrue over time in the employee's account and the employee's age at the time of retirement, and (ii) 401(k) plan non-elective and matching contributions from TVA. As of October 1, 2016, the cash balance accounts of these employees receive no additional pay-based credits; however, the accounts continue to receive monthly interest credits at an annual interest rate equal to the change in the CPI-U plus two percent (with a minimum of 4.75 percent and a maximum of 6.25 percent). The interest rate during 2021 was 4.75 percent. The 401(k) plan automatic, non-elective contribution is equal to six percent of eligible compensation, and the matching contribution is dollar-for-dollar on employee contributions up to six percent of eligible compensation, for a maximum matching contribution of six percent of eligible compensation. None of the NEOs are in this group. • Employees who were hired prior to July 1, 2014, and who elected to waive their cash balance retirement benefit and transfer their cash balance account to the 401(k) plan effective October 1, 2018, receive a retirement benefit in the 401(k) plan only. The 401(k) plan is an automatic, non-elective contribution that is equal to six percent of eligible compensation, and the matching contribution is dollar-for-dollar on employee contributions up to six percent of the eligible compensation, for a maximum matching contribution of six percent of eligible compensation. None of the NEOs are in this group. • Employees who were first hired on or after July 1, 2014 (or who were rehired and were either previously not vested in the pension plan or cashed out their pension benefit) receive a retirement benefit in the 401(k) plan only. The 401(k) plan automatic, non-elective contribution is equal to 4.5 percent of eligible compensation, and the matching contribution is $0.75 on every dollar contributed by the employee up to six percent of eligible compensation, for a maximum matching contribution of 4.5 percent of eligible compensation. Mr. Lyash, Mr. Rausch, Mr. Fountain, and Mr. Moul are in this group. Cash Balance Pension . For NEOs who are eligible for retirement benefits under the pension plan, which includes Mr. Thomas and Mr. Skaggs, eligible compensation is defined as annual salary only for benefit calculation purposes and is shown under the column titled "Salary" in the Summary Compensation Table. The eligible compensation in 2021 could not exceed $285,000 pursuant to the IRS annual compensation limit applicable to qualified plans. Employees with cash balance benefits who have at least five years of cash balance service are eligible at retirement or termination of employment to receive an immediate benefit in the form of a monthly pension with survivor benefit options or in a lump-sum payment with cash out or rollover options. The pension plan does not provide for early retirement benefits to any NEO or any other employee eligible for cash balance benefits. 401(k) Plan . All employees eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan, including the NEOs, may elect to contribute to the 401(k) plan on a before-tax, Roth, and/or after-tax basis. For purposes of matching and non-elective contributions from TVA to the 401(k) accounts of the NEOs, eligible compensation is defined as annual salary only for benefit calculation purposes and is shown under the column titled "Salary" in the Summary Compensation Table. The eligible compensation in 2021 could not exceed $285,000 pursuant to the IRS annual compensation limit applicable to qualified plans. Any participant in the 401(k) plan must have three years of TVA service to be vested in matching and non-elective contributions from TVA. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan All NEOs are participants in the SERP. The SERP is a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan similar to those typically found in other companies in TVA's peer group and is provided to a limited number of executives, including the NEOs. TVA's SERP was created to recruit and retain key executives. The plan is designed to provide a competitive level of retirement benefits in excess of the limitations on contributions and benefits imposed by TVA's qualified defined benefit plan and Internal Revenue Code Section 415 limits on qualified retirement plans. The SERP provides two distinct levels of participation, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Each participant is assigned to one of the two tiers at the time he or she is approved to participate in the SERP. The level of participation ("Tier") defines the level of retirement benefits under the SERP at the time of retirement. Under the SERP, normal retirement eligibility is age 62 with five years of vesting service. No vested and accrued benefits are payable prior to age 55, and benefits are reduced for retirements prior to age 62. The level of reduction in benefits for retirements prior to age 62 depends on whether a participant's termination is "approved" or "unapproved." In the event of an approved termination of TVA employment, any vested and accrued benefits are reduced by 5/12 percent for each month that the date of benefit commencement precedes the participant's 62nd birthday, up to a maximum reduction of 35 percent. In the event of an unapproved termination of TVA employment, the participant's accrued benefits are first subject to a reduced percentage of vesting if the participant's years of service are between five and 10. At five years of vesting service, the vested percentage of retirement benefits is 50 percent and increases thereafter by 10 percent for each full additional year of service, reaching 100 percent vesting for 10 or more years of vesting service. Thereafter, any vested and accrued benefits are reduced by 10/12 220 Table of Contents percent for each month that the date of benefit commencement precedes the participant's 62nd birthday up to a maximum reduction of 70 percent. For purposes of the SERP, an "approved" termination means termination of employment with TVA due to (i) retirement on or after the participant's 62nd birthday, (ii) retirement on or after attainment of actual age 55, if such retirement has the approval of the TVA Board or its delegate, (iii) death in service as an employee, (iv) disability (as defined under the Rules and Regulations of the TVARS) as determined by the Retirement Committee, or (v) any other circumstance approved by the TVA Board or its delegate. For purposes of the SERP, an "unapproved" termination means a termination of employment with TVA when such termination does not constitute an "approved" termination as defined in the preceding sentence. SERP Tier 1 . The Tier 1 structure is designed to replace 60 percent of the amount of a participant's compensation at the time the participant reaches age 62 and has accrued 24 years of TVA service. Tier 1 benefits are based on a participant's highest average compensation during three consecutive SERP years and a pension multiple of 2.5 percent for each year of credited service up to a maximum of 24 years. Compensation is defined as salary and EAIP for benefit calculation purposes. Tier 1 benefits are offset by Social Security benefits, benefits provided under TVA's qualified defined benefit pension plan, and prior employer pension benefits when applicable. SERP Tier 2 . The purpose of this restoration plan is to adjust qualified plan benefits to executives when benefits are lost due to IRS limits. Pension benefits are based on a participant's average compensation over three consecutive fiscal years and a pension multiplier of 1.3 percent for each year of service. For benefit calculation, pension includes salary and annual incentives. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation The following table provides information regarding deferred contributions, earnings, and balances for each of the NEOs. The amounts reported under this table do not represent compensation in addition to the compensation that was earned in 2021 and already reported in the Summary Compensation Table, but rather the amounts of compensation earned by the NEOs in 2021 or prior years that were or have been deferred.

Because none of the amounts are above market or preferential earnings under SEC rules, none of these amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table. (2) Includes vested contributions and earnings. $600,000 of this amount has been reported in the Summary Compensation Table as compensation for a prior fiscal year. TVA's compensation plans may allow participants to defer all or a portion of compensation earned under the plans as defined by plan terms and IRS regulations. All deferrals are credited to each participant in a deferred compensation account, and the deferral amounts are then funded into a rabbi trust. Each participant may elect one or more investment options made available by TVA or allow some or all funds to accrue interest at the rate established by the beginning of each fiscal year equal to the composite rate of all Treasury issues. Participants may elect to change from either one notional investment option or the TVA interest bearing option to another at any time. Upon termination of employment, funds are distributed pursuant to elections made in accordance with applicable IRS regulations. 221 Table of Contents Executive Severance Plan On February 10, 2021, TVA’s CEO established the TVA Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”), including the eligibility of TVA’s NEOs (other than the CEO) to participate in the Severance Plan. On February 11, 2021, the TVA Board approved the CEO’s participation in the Severance Plan as part of the overall market review of CEO compensation. The Severance Plan provides that if TVA terminates an NEO’s employment other than for Gross Misconduct (as defined below) or such participant terminates employment for Good Reason (as defined below), such participant will be eligible to receive the following benefits in addition to his or her accrued compensation: • A lump sum severance payment equal to the applicable multiplier times the sum of the employee’s annual base salary and target annual incentive, and continued healthcare benefits for a number of complete or partial years equal to such multiplier. The applicable multiplier is 1.5 for the CEO and 1.0 for the other NEOs, or, if the qualifying separation occurs within 24 months following a Change in Control (as defined below) of TVA, then the applicable multiplier is 3.0 for the CEO and 2.0 for the other NEOs. • Any earned but unpaid incentive payments, and a prorated annual incentive payment for the year of termination based on actual (or, if the qualifying separation occurs within 24 months following a Change in Control of TVA, based on target) achievement of performance goals. • If the qualifying separation occurs within 24 months following a Change in Control of TVA, then a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (a) any LTIP performance awards the performance cycle of which is in progress on the participant's separation date, non-prorated and calculated based on target achievement of performance goals, and (b) any LTIP retention awards the retention cycle of which is in progress on the participant's separation date, non-prorated and calculated as if all such awards are fully vested. • If the qualifying separation occurs within 24 months following a Change in Control of TVA, a waiver of the five-year vesting requirement set forth in Section 4.1(a) of the TVA Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan pursuant to its terms. In order to receive severance benefits under the Severance Plan, participants must timely execute (and not revoke) a release of claims in favor of TVA and comply with all applicable post-separation restrictive covenants. The terms of the Severance Plan will supersede rights and obligations with respect to severance under existing agreements to which Severance Plan participants are a party. Under the Severance Plan, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred on the earliest of the following dates: • the date when the United States ceases to have an ownership interest of at least fifty percent (50%) of TVA; • the date one or more entities acquire (or have acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such entity or entities) assets from TVA that have a total gross fair market value (without regard to any debt) equal to or more than thirty percent (30%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of TVA immediately before such most recent acquisition; • the date that a majority of the members of the TVA Board is no longer appointed and confirmed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(a)(1) of the TVA Act; • the date a complete liquidation or winding-up of TVA is consummated; • the date that an entity such as an organization, board, commission, authority, department, or agency succeeds to the principal functions of, or powers and duties granted to, TVA; or • the date of enactment or effectiveness of any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, order, decree, ruling, or writ of a governmental or regulatory agency, entity, or official of competent jurisdiction that materially limits the TVA Board’s authority to establish or renew a participant’s total direct compensation. Under the Severance Plan, Good Reason shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: • a material adverse change in the participant’s authority, duties, or responsibilities (excluding during any period of participant’s physical or mental incapacity) with respect to his or her employment with TVA without the participant’s prior written consent; • a material reduction in the participant’s base salary without the participant’s prior written consent (other than any reduction applicable to management employees generally); 222 Table of Contents • an actual change in the participant’s principal work location by more than 50 miles and more than 50 miles from the participant’s principal place of abode as of the date of such change in job location without the participant’s prior written consent; or • a material breach by TVA of any term or provision of the Severance Plan without the participant’s prior written consent. A participant may be considered to have Good Reason to terminate employment for purposes of the Severance Plan only if the participant provides written notice to TVA of termination within 30 days of the occurrence of the applicable event(s) or, if later, within 30 days of the date the participant has knowledge that such event(s) occurred. An event constituting Good Reason shall no longer constitute Good Reason if the circumstances described in the Good Reason notice are cured by TVA within 30 days following receipt of the Good Reason notice. Under the Severance Plan, Gross Misconduct shall mean any of the following: • misconduct involving dishonesty, fraud, or gross negligence that directly results in significant economic or reputational harm to TVA; • insubordination, intentional neglect of duties, or refusal to cooperate with investigations of TVA’s business practices; • conviction of a crime amounting to a felony under the laws of the United States or any of the several states, or a crime of moral turpitude; • a significant violation of TVA’s Code of Ethics or Code of Conduct; or • disclosure without authorization of proprietary or confidential information of TVA. 223 Table of Contents Potential Payments on Account of Resignation, Retirement, Termination without Cause, Termination with Cause, Death, or Disability The tables below show certain potential payments that would have been made to each NEO if his or her employment had been terminated on September 30, 2021, under various scenarios.

(3) In February 2019, TVA entered into an arrangement with Mr. Lyash that provides that at the commencement of his employment with TVA, he will be granted five years of credited service for calculating his SERP benefit. In the event of involuntary termination except for cause prior to five years of actual service, the vesting requirement will be waived, and he will be entitled to the additional five years of granted credited service plus his actual years of service for calculating his SERP benefit. In the event of termination for cause or voluntary termination for any reason prior to five years of actual service, the vesting requirement will be waived and his SERP benefit will be calculated based on a total of five years of credited service.

Director Compensation The TVA Act provides for up to nine directors on the TVA Board. As of November 12, 2021, the TVA Board consisted of seven members. Under the TVA Act, each director receives certain stipends that are increased annually by the same percentage increase applicable to adjustments under 5 U.S.C. § 5318, which adjusts the annual rates of pay of employees on the Executive Schedule of the U.S. Government. Effective January 1, 2021, the annual stipend for TVA directors was increased from $54,072 to $54,613 per year unless (1) the director chairs a TVA Board committee, in which case the stipend was increased from $55,142 to $55,693 per year, or (2) the director is the Chair of the TVA Board, in which case the stipend was increased from $60,175 to $60,777 per year. Directors are also reimbursed under federal law for travel, lodging, and related expenses while attending meetings and for other official TVA business. The annual stipends provided by the TVA Act for each director and for the Chair of the TVA Board as of November 12, 2021, are listed below: TVA BOARD ANNUAL STIPENDS Name Annual Stipend William Kilbride $ 60,777 Kenneth E.

Smith 55,528 — — — — 2,499 58,027 Notes (1) TVA directors do not participate in the TVARS Retirement Plans, TVA's SERP, or any non-qualified deferred compensation plan available to TVA employees. However, as appointed officers of the U.S. government, the directors are members of FERS. FERS is administered by the federal Office of Personnel Management, and information regarding the value of FERS pension benefits is not available to TVA. (2) These amounts include TVA's non-elective and matching contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan. The directors are not eligible to participate in any incentive programs available to TVA employees. The directors do not participate in the TVARS Retirement Plans and do not participate in TVA's SERP. However, as appointed officers of the U.S. government, the directors are members of the Federal Employees Retirement System ("FERS"). FERS is a tiered retirement plan that includes three components: (1) Social Security benefits, (2) the Basic Benefit Plan, and (3) the Thrift Savings Plan ("TSP"). As members of FERS, each director is required to make a mandatory percentage contribution of his or her stipend to 230 Table of Contents the Basic Benefit Plan in the amount of 0.8 percent for those directors appointed prior to January 1, 2013, 3.1 percent for those directors appointed between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013, and 4.4 percent for those directors appointed on or after January 1, 2014. The FERS Basic Benefit Plan is a qualified defined benefit plan that provides a retirement benefit based on a final average pay formula that includes age, highest average salary during any three consecutive years of service, and years of creditable service. A director must have at least five years of creditable service to be eligible to receive retirement benefits. Directors are eligible for immediate, unreduced retirement benefits once (1) they reach age 62 and have five years of FERS creditable service, (2) they reach age 60 and have 20 years of FERS creditable service, or (3) they attain the minimum retirement age and accumulate the specified years of service as set forth in the FERS regulations. Generally, benefits are calculated by multiplying 1.0 percent of the highest average salary during any three consecutive years of service by the number of years of creditable service. Directors who retire at age 62 or later with at least 20 years of FERS creditable service receive an enhanced benefit (a factor of 1.1 percent is used rather than 1.0 percent). Each director is also eligible to participate in the TSP. The TSP is a tax-deferred retirement savings and investment plan that offers the same type of savings and tax benefits offered under 401(k) plans. Once a director becomes eligible, TVA contributes an amount equal to one percent of the director's stipend into a TSP account for the director. These contributions are made automatically every two weeks regardless of whether the director makes a contribution of his or her own money. Directors are eligible to contribute up to the TSP elective deferral limit. Directors receive matching contributions of 100 percent of each dollar for the first three percent of the director's stipend and 50 percent of each dollar for the next two percent of the director's stipend. TVA offers a group of health and other benefits (medical, dental, vision, life and accidental death and disability insurance, and long-term disability insurance) that are available to a broad group of employees. Directors are eligible to participate in TVA's health benefit plans and other non-retirement benefit plans on the same terms and at the same contribution rates as other TVA employees. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation The People and Governance Committee of the TVA Board currently consists of the following three directors: Kenneth Allen, A.D. Frazier, and Brian Noland. No member of this Committee was at any time during 2021 or at any other time an officer or employee of TVA, and no member of this committee had any relationship with TVA requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. No executive officer of TVA has served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has or has had one or more executive officers who served as a member of the People and Governance Committee during 2021. Compensation Committee Report The People and Governance Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management, and based on the review and discussions, the Committee recommended to the TVA Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report. PEOPLE AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE Kenneth Allen, Chair A.D. Frazier Brian Noland 231 Table of Contents ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Not applicable. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE Director Independence The composition of the TVA Board is governed by the TVA Act. The TVA Act contains certain provisions that are similar to the considerations for independence under section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act, including that to be eligible for appointment to the TVA Board, an individual shall not be an employee of TVA and shall make full disclosure to Congress of any investment or other financial interest that the individual holds in the energy industry. Related Party Transactions Conflict of Interest Provisions All TVA employees, including directors and executive officers, are subject to the conflict of interest laws and regulations applicable to employees of the federal government. Accordingly, the general federal conflict of interest statute (18 U.S.C. § 208) and the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (5 C.F.R. part 2635) ("Standards of Ethical Conduct") form the basis of TVA's policies and procedures for the review, approval, or ratification of related party transactions. The general federal conflict of interest statute, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits each government employee, including TVA's directors and executive officers, from participating personally and substantially (by advice, decision, or otherwise) as a government employee in any contract, controversy, proceeding, request for determination, or other particular matter in which, to his or her knowledge, he or she (or his or her spouse, minor child, general partner, organization with which he or she serves as officer, director, employee, trustee, or general partner, or any person or organization with which he or she is negotiating, or has an arrangement, for future employment) has a financial interest. Exceptions to the statutory prohibition relevant to TVA employees are (1) financial interests which have been deemed by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, in published regulations, to be too remote or inconsequential to affect the integrity of the employee's services, or (2) interests which are determined in writing, after full disclosure and on a case-by-case basis, to be not so substantial as to be deemed likely to affect the integrity of the employee's services for TVA. In accordance with the statute, individual waiver determinations are made by the official responsible for the employee's appointment. In the case of TVA directors, the determination may be made by the Chair of the TVA Board, and in the case of the Chair of the TVA Board, the determination may be made by the Counsel to the President of the U.S. More broadly, Subpart E of the Standards of Ethical Conduct provides that where an employee (1) knows that a particular matter involving specific parties is likely to have a direct and predictable effect on the financial interests of a member of his or her household, or that a person with whom the employee has a "covered relationship" (which includes, but is not limited to, persons with whom the employee has a close family relationship and organizations in which the employee is an active participant) is or represents a party to the matter, and (2) determines that the circumstances would cause a reasonable person with knowledge of relevant facts to question his or her impartiality in the matter, the employee should not participate in the matter absent agency authorization. This authorization may be given by the employee's supervising officer, as agency designee, in consultation with the TVA Designated Agency Ethics Official, upon the determination that TVA's interest in the employee's participation in the matter outweighs the concern that a reasonable person may question the integrity of TVA's programs and operations. The previously described restrictions are reflected in TVA's policies which require employees, including directors and executive officers, to comply with the guidelines outlined in the Standards of Ethical Conduct and which restate the standard of the conflict of interest statute. Additionally, the TVA Board approved a written conflict of interest policy that applies to all TVA employees, including TVA's directors and executive officers. The conflict of interest policy reaffirms the requirement that all TVA employees must comply with applicable federal conflict of interest laws, regulations, and policies. It also establishes an additional policy that is applicable to TVA's directors and CEO. This additional policy provides that TVA's directors and CEO shall not hold a financial interest in (1) any distributor of TVA power; (2) any entity engaged primarily in the wholesale or retail generation, transmission, or sale of electricity, except where substantially all such business is conducted outside of North America; or (3) any entity that may reasonably be perceived as likely to be adversely affected by the success of TVA as a producer or transmitter of electric power. Any waiver of this additional policy may be made only by the TVA Board and will be disclosed promptly to the public, subject to the limitations on disclosure imposed by law. TVA also has a protocol titled the "Obtaining Things of Value from TVA Protocol" (the "Protocol"). The Protocol describes what a TVA employee should do if a person covered by the Protocol asks for assistance in obtaining a specified thing of value from TVA. Similarly, the TVA Board Practice on External Inquiries describes what a member of the TVA Board should do if a person covered by the practice asks for assistance in obtaining a specified thing of value from TVA. 232 Table of Contents TVA relies on the policies, practices, laws, and regulations discussed above to regulate conflicts of interest involving employees, including directors and executive officers. TVA has no other written or unwritten policy for the approval or ratification of any transactions in which TVA was or is to be a participant and in which any director or executive officer of TVA (or any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of any director or executive officer of TVA) had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Other Relationships TVA is engaged in a number of transactions with other agencies of the U.S. government, although such agencies do not fall within the definition of "related parties" for purposes of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. These include, among other things, supplying electricity to other federal agencies, purchasing electricity from the Southeastern Power Administration, and engaging in various arrangements involving nuclear materials with the Department of Energy ("DOE"). See Item 1, Business and Note 24 — Related Parties . TVA also has access to a financing arrangement with the U.S. Treasury. TVA and the U.S. Treasury have a memorandum of understanding under which the U.S. Treasury provides TVA with a $150 million credit facility. There were no outstanding borrowings under the facility at September 30, 2021. This credit facility has a maturity date of September 30, 2022, and is typically renewed annually. This arrangement is pursuant to the TVA Act. Access to this credit facility or other similar financing arrangements with the U.S. Treasury has been available to TVA since the 1960s. See Note 14 — Debt and Other Obligations — Credit Facility Agreements . In addition, TVA is required by the 1959 amendment to the TVA Act to make annual payments to the U.S. Treasury from net power proceeds as a repayment of and as a return on the payments to the U.S. Treasury in repayment of and as a return on the government's appropriation investment in TVA's power facilities (the "Power Program Appropriation Investment") until $1.0 billion of the Power Program Appropriation Investment has been repaid. With the 2014 payment, TVA fulfilled its requirement to repay $1.0 billion of the Power Program Appropriation Investment. The TVA Act requires TVA to continue to make payments to the U.S. Treasury indefinitely as a return on the remaining $258 million of the Power Program Appropriation Investment. See Note 19 — Proprietary Capital — Appropriation Investment . The TVA Act requires the proceeds for each fiscal year derived from the sale of power or any other activities to be paid into the U.S. Treasury on March 31 of each year, except for the portion of such proceeds as in the opinion of the TVA Board shall be necessary for TVA in the operation of dams and reservoirs and in conducting its business in generating, transmitting, and distributing electric energy. For each fiscal year, the TVA Board adopts a resolution retaining for use in the operation of the TVA power system the entire margin of net power proceeds remaining at the conclusion of such fiscal year. 233 Table of Contents ITEM 14.

(2) All other fees reflect accounting and financial reporting research software license costs. The TVA Board has an Audit, Finance, Risk, and Cybersecurity Committee ("Audit Committee"). Under the TVA Act, the Audit Committee, in consultation with the Inspector General, recommends to the TVA Board the selection of an external auditor. TVA's Audit Committee, in consultation with the Inspector General, recommended that the TVA Board select Ernst & Young LLP as TVA's external auditor for the 2021 and 2020 audits and other related services, and the TVA Board approved these recommendations. TVA has a policy (the "Policy") that requires all auditing services and permissible non-audit services provided by the external auditor to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Policy also lists the following services as ones the external auditor is not permitted to perform: • Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of TVA; • Financial information system design and implementation; • Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, and contribution-in-kind reports; • Actuarial services; • Internal audit outsourcing services; • Management functions or human resources; • Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services; • Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and • Any other services that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, are impermissible. The Policy also delegates to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve a permissible service so long as the amount of the service does not exceed $100,000 and the total amount of services pre-approved during the year by the Chair does not exceed $200,000. The Chair must report for informational purposes the services pre-approved under this provision at the Audit Committee's next meeting. The Audit Committee pre-approved all audit services for 2021 and 2020. 234 Table of Contents PART IV ITEM 15.
