Event Description:
TVA Seeks Your Input on Future Power Generation
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in partnership with Rockwood Electric Utility (REU) is building the energy system of the future to enable ongoing and future growth around the Valley, focusing on cleaner and more efficient energy generation while maintaining low rates and reliable power for the 10 million people we are privileged to serve.
As part of this effort, TVA is conducting environmental reviews to assess the potential impacts associated with the proposed retirement, decommissioning and destruction of the coal-fired units at the Kingston Fossil Plant near Kingston and Harriman TN, and the potential construction and operation of alternative replacement generation.
TVA is asking for public feedback as we evaluate two options for replacement generation.
