TVA Green Lights 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. In 2021, 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). As part of the overall plan, in 2023, TVA proposed to build a new gas-fired plant at the site of a former privately operated power plant in Mississippi (see TVA Proposes New 500 MW Natural Gas Power Plant in Mississippi). Last Friday, TVA pulled the trigger and made a final investment decision to move forward with the project.
