“TVA, with its bias against renewables, did not model solar-plus-storage as a cost-effective dispatchable resource, and proposed future resource portfolios rich in fossil gas that bet on unproven technologies like burning hydrogen and carbon capture”
“integrated resource plans are notoriously difficult to understand, let alone engage in. The NREL guides will help SACE make resource planning more accessible to everyone”
TVA announced plans to build a 1.5 GW fossil gas plant at the Kingston coal plant site in eastern Tennessee, rejecting alternatives of solar and battery storage despite 15 GW of such projects in its interconnection…
“TVA is out of sync with reality and out of step with the Biden Administration's direction and commitments. It doesn't matter which president originally nominated the Board members. If they ultimately endorse a resource plan that includes new gas resources now, it will ensure that the nation's largest public power utility fails to achieve 100% clean energy by 2035 and will increase the risks of high bills and grid failures for the people of the Valley for decades to come.”
“This is where planning is so important. Some utilities are planning to build peaking gas plants and use assumptions around that, or are pursuing small modular reactors. Once early investments are made in such technologies, it's really hard to claw some of those decisions back.”
The Southern Environmental Law Center calls on TVA's newly constituted Biden-appointed board to pause plans for nearly 5 GW of new gas generation and instead pursue cleaner alternatives. SACE has separately asked FERC to evaluate whether…
“The carbon plan shows added amounts of solar, storage and gas capacity through 2030 that track "very closely" to the amounts in Duke's proposal”
“We'd like to see any decision about building new gas plants at Cumberland, as well as at the Kingston plant, to be held until the new directors have a chance to review this decision”
TVA approved a $216 million program to develop a 100 MW utility-scale solar installation on the retired Shawnee Fossil Plant coal-ash storage site in Kentucky, part of its goal to deploy 2.8 GW of solar by…
“Our current system puts all the risk on customers. Customers pay for all the gas and coal burned in Duke power plants; the utility's shareholders do not. South Carolinians will continue to be hit with fuel rate increases until the Commission requires utilities to expand affordable clean resources that lower customer bills like energy efficiency and renewable energy.”
“Part of FERC's review of any proposal for a new gas pipeline is "to verify there is a need for that pipeline,"”
“Utility plans to invest in new gas power plants are risky, opening up customers to higher bills driven by volatile fuel prices and stranded assets”
“really clear that the first step to achieving the targets it laid out is to stop building new fossil fuel infrastructure”
Duke Energy and North Carolina solar installers have reached a compromise on net metering rates, delaying time-of-use rate implementation until at least 2026 and introducing a 'Proposed Bridge Rate' for new customers. The settlement was supported…
Georgia's solar trade association GASEIA and allied groups, including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and Southface Energy Institute, filed testimony with Georgia's Public Service Commission calling for Georgia Power to increase its near-term solar target…
