TVA Proposes 9th New Gas-Fired Power Plant Since 2020

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 country. In July 2021, MDN told you that TVA announced investments of over $1 billion to replace six coal-fired plants with natgas-fired turbines (see TVA Investing $1B to Build New Natgas-Fired Electric Plants). It seems the agency's plans are expanding beyond even that. We have a list of nine (with the ninth just announced) new gas-fired power plants TVA either already has, currently is, or wants to build. The nine plants have a combined 6.9 gigawatts of electrical generating capacity.
