For 2024, FactVote combines EIA utility-scale net generation with EIA's estimated small-scale solar generation and groups sources into seven categories. The 2015–2023 historical points retain utility-scale coverage. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills. Generation is electricity produced inside Tennessee, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented. The 2024 comparison includes EIA's estimated generation from small-scale solar systems under 1 megawatt. Historical points for 2015–2023 retain utility-scale coverage and exclude those estimates, so comparisons across 2023–2024 also reflect this change in coverage. The 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources. The residential price is a statewide nominal average and can mask large differences among utilities, plans, and household usage. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Midwest regular gasoline price

$3.85/galWeek of August 31, 2026

Estimated average retail price of regular-grade gasoline across all formulations, including taxes, in EIA's Midwest petroleum district. The district includes Tennessee and 14 other states.

This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.

Method and limitations

U.S. Energy Information Administration weekly retail motor-gasoline survey estimate for the Midwest region. FactVote displays the published dollars-per-gallon value and calculates changes from EIA's published prior-week and nearest year-earlier weekly observations.

  • EIA does not publish a current Tennessee statewide weekly gasoline-price series; this Midwest regional estimate should not be read as Tennessee's statewide average.
  • The regional estimate combines Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin, and does not represent the price at every station or in every Tennessee community.
  • This nominal weekly snapshot does not identify why prices changed or establish the effect of any tax, bill, executive action, or market event.

Nuclear share of in-state electricity generation

42.3%2024

Share of Tennessee's in-state electric-power-industry net generation supplied by nuclear power.

This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.

Source calculation

Nuclear net generation
32,185,960 MWh
Total in-state net generation
76,166,766 MWh
Method and limitations

FactVote divided EIA's 32,185,960 MWh of 2024 nuclear net generation by 76,166,766 MWh of total in-state net generation and rounded the result to one decimal place.

  • The headline is calculated from final annual EIA generation data and rounded to one decimal place.
  • In-state generation is not the same as electricity consumed in Tennessee because power crosses state lines.

Outage minutes per customer · all events

EIA distribution-system reliability for utilities using the IEEE standard. SAIDI is average customer interruption duration; SAIFI is average frequency.

Reported customer coverage is incomplete and differs by state. These figures cover reporting utilities, not every customer. Major-event definitions follow IEEE; a severe-weather year can dominate the all-events value. Coverage percentage is not itself outage performance.

Hover to inspect. Click or tap to compare that period with every state. Focus the graph and use arrow keys, Home or End to select a period. Press Escape to return to the latest period.

Who uses energy?

Total energy consumption includes more than electricity. EIA assigns electricity-related losses to consuming end-use sectors.

Tennessee · 2024492 trillion Btu
Tennessee rank#13among all 50 states

#1 is the highest value. Ties share a rank and leave gaps. D.C. and territories are excluded. Rank describes the measured value; it is not an overall score of the state.

Residential energy consumption

Annual energy consumption by end-use sector, in trillion British thermal units (Btu).

2024 SEDS estimates. Industrial and total figures exclude noncombustible renewable energy inputs used to produce biofuels. Includes allocated electric-system energy losses. Size, climate, industry mix, and activity affect absolute rankings.

Energy-related carbon emissions

Combustion emissions describe fossil energy use. Production, consumption, emissions, and international trade have different accounting boundaries.

Tennessee · 202490.46 Mt CO₂

Total energy-related CO₂ emissions

Thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide from energy consumption.

2024 SEDS estimates. Energy-related CO₂ excludes non-energy greenhouse gases and is not a complete climate footprint. Production emissions are assigned to electric power, rather than reallocating electricity emissions to consumers.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific electricity, fuels, energy costs and emissions terms in retained, attributed source text from published Tennessee candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

FactVote reviewed summary

The FY2027 Energy and Water appropriations bill includes funding for DOE Nuclear Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission within a broader federal spending measure.

Rules Committee Resolution H. Res. 1377 Reported to House. Rule provides for consideration of H.R. 1181, H.R. 9022, H.R. 8595 and H.R. 9237.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Tennessee officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Tennessee statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 5, 2026.
