TVA 2050 integrated resource plan: Through a glass darkly?
“TVA's Draft IRP has a little bit of everything for everybody, but not much specifically for anyone. We are concerned that TVA's institutional bias against renewables is still present by failing to model solar and storage as a cost-effective dispatchable resource, while at the same time building future portfolios rich in fossil gas that bet on unproven technologies like burning hydrogen and carbon capture. This IRP is full of long-term speculation, but short on near-term substance.”
