Supplier Diversity Conference

2022 Supplier Diversity

Welcome all!

We’re honored to have you join us for the 18th Annual Energizing Powerful Connections (EPC) conference. This impactful event is held annually and made possible by sponsoring utilities, Dominion Energy, Duke Energy, Entergy Services, LLC, LG&E and KU, Southern Company, and TVA. And this year TVA is honored to serve as the host.

EPC is an opportunity for utility peers to unite for a common purpose – to promote equity and economic empowerment for diverse businesses. As public utilities, we embrace the fundamental values that define our companies, and the importance of respect, diversity, and inclusion. EPC serves as a forum to share experiences, discuss opportunities, and ultimately to improve the ways we safely provide reliable, affordable, and clean energy.

During our time together, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, share experiences, and discuss innovations while building new relationships and enhancing existing ones. For utilities, today promotes collaboration, benchmarking and best practices among peers. For businesses it means opportunities to start building energizing and powerful connections with a variety of utility representatives and Prime suppliers looking to grow their network of diverse businesses.

Thank you for participating. We appreciate your commitment to promoting inclusion with diversity among those who supply products and services to the utility industry.

Sincerely,

Jan Cable

Manager, Supplier Diversity & Development Supply Chain, Tennessee Valley Authority
