Nothing to Lose, everything to gain: Memphians will only benefit from MLGW’s request for proposals | Opinion

In this mention

Dr. Stephen A. Smith, Executive Director of SACE, and Pearl Eva Walker co-author an op-ed advocating for Memphis Light, Gas & Water to issue a request for proposals (RFP) to explore alternative power suppliers beyond TVA. The authors argue that an RFP would allow Memphis to gather market information, potentially save hundreds of millions in utility costs, and position the city as a clean energy leader without committing to leaving TVA. They emphasize that competitive procurement represents good governance and transparency.
