Locations Served
Tennessee

Known as ‘the Volunteer State,’ Tennessee is home to approximately seven million Americans. Nashville, Knoxville and Memphis are the three largest cities in the state. Agriculture, tourism and manufacturing are the largest sectors of the state economy, though Tennessee is home to several major global corporations including FedEx, Autozone, Pilot and Caterpillar Financial, and it boasts a well-developed and diverse economy. As many as 100 million people visit the state each year. Memphis and Nashville are world-class destinations for music, and camping tourism at parks like the Great Smoky Mountains attract billions of dollars in tourism each year. Home to the Tennessee Valley Authority, the largest public power corporation, Tennessee exports electric power to six other American states, and imports none. Innovative energy projects are large-scale in Tennessee, with nuclear, biomass, hydroelectric power and other renewable energy sources each contributing significantly more than coal and natural gas.   

 

Alabama

Alabama is often called the ‘Heart of Dixie,’ and is home to five million Americans. Birmingham is the state’s largest urban area, with more than a million and a half residents. Other major urban environments include Huntsville, Mobile and Montgomery, the state capital. Alabama has a diverse economy, with services, manufacturing, tourism, banking and transportation all contributing meaningfully to the state’s bottom line. Auto manufacturing is an economic driver for Alabama, with Honda, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai each building manufacturing facilities and employing thousands of people in the state. Major sources of electric power are nuclear, natural gas, coal and renewables, including biomass, which is harvested from Alabama’s enormous timber supply. The state is a net exporter of electric power, due to the surplus generated by the Brown’s Ferry nuclear plant, the second largest nuclear power generation facility in the United States.

 

Georgia

Georgia has the second largest state population in the American Southeast, with nearly eleven million people living within its borders. Known as ‘the Peach State,’ Georgia is home to twenty six of the world’s largest companies, including Coca Cola, Delta Airlines, Honeywell and Home Depot, Georgia has earned its reputation for being a business-friendly state. Beyond industry, Georgia is a major agricultural producer, exporting pecans, cotton and peaches. Logistics, communications, tourism and the arts are also major economic drivers for the state. Interestingly, Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world. With some of the highest electricity generation and consumption in the United States, North Carolina gets the majority its electric power from natural gas and coal. Additionally, there are two nuclear plants in the state. Only 3% of Georgia’s electric power comes from renewable sources, though recently some significant investment in consumer solar initiatives has made the state a national contributor to the solar power conversation.
