TVA Proposes New 500 MW Natural Gas Power Plant in Mississippi

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a federally-owned electric utility corporation in the U.S. TVA’s service area covers all of Tennessee, portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky, and small areas of Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. TVA is the sixth-largest power supplier and the largest public utility in the U.S. Two years ago, MDN told you that TVA is spending over $1 billion to replace six coal-fired plants with natgas-fired turbines (see TVA Investing $1B to Build New Natgas-Fired Electric Plants). A number of those projects are underway. All of them are opposed (typically via lawsuits) by foreign-backed Big Green groups (see our TVA stories here). Yesterday, TVA announced another proposed new gas-fired power plant --- this one in Mississippi.
