Southeast's largest green power program running deficit

In this mention

TVA's Green Power Switch program, the largest renewable energy program in the Southeast, is running a significant deficit—selling 42 percent more green power than it produces. The program faces accreditation challenges unless new wind turbines on Buffalo Mountain come online. Steve Smith, director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and member of TVA's green power advisory panel, praised TVA's efforts to expand renewable supply to meet growing consumer demand.

TVA is constantly chasing the demand, and I think that is a good thing. That shows people want it.
