EPB's Home Uplift program has provided energy efficiency upgrades to 600 low- and moderate-income households in Chattanooga over seven years, cutting electricity use by an average of 25% and saving participants over $400 annually. The article…
“Change is coming. This bill is a historic commitment by the United States to regain a leadership position not only in addressing climate disruption but also in leading the clean energy technology revolution that is being unleashed.”
“Part of FERC's review of any proposal for a new gas pipeline is "to verify there is a need for that pipeline,"”
South Memphis residents oppose TVA's plan to transport 3.5 million cubic yards of coal ash from the Allen Fossil Plant through their predominantly Black neighborhood to the South Shelby Landfill over 8-10 years. Documents reveal TVA…
Stan Cross, a SACE staff member, authored an op-ed in The Tennessean arguing that electric school buses are a better solution than propane buses for Tennessee school districts. The piece responds to a prior op-ed by…
“The bottom line is that on a regular basis MISO provides the TVA consistently about as much power as Memphis draws, and then on some days is even higher and TVA's reliability would be in question if it wasn't for the interconnect with MISO”
“MLGW's decision on its future power supply is one of the most consequential single decisions that any community has made in the history of SACE's work throughout the Southeast region over the past three decades. Billions of dollars, millions of tons of pollution, and most importantly hundreds of thousands of individuals' quality of life are on the line with this decision”

SACE advised FERC that TVA's justification for constructing a new gas plant is faulty and urged the federal regulator to conduct its own independent assessment. The article references TVA's Cumberland Fossil Plant, which is slated for…
“The Clinch River site has an expensive history of a failed nuclear experiment, but it just seems that TVA and the nuclear industry never learn from their mistakes of the past. We're not opposed to research on new technologies, but we're highly skeptical that this small modular reactor technology can be built and operate in a way that is cost-effective and safe. This is an unproven technology, and TVA is lagging behind other utilities with technologies that are actually working with renewable energy sources.”
Clean energy advocates, including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Sierra Club, and Appalachian Voices, are urging TVA to leverage $370 billion in clean energy investments from the Inflation Reduction Act to fund energy-efficient infrastructure and…
“Change is coming. This bill is a historic commitment by the United States to regain a leadership position not only in addressing climate disruption but also in leading the clean energy technology revolution that is being unleashed. While no single entity can take credit for the rollercoaster ride that led to the Senate passing this significant legislation, much credit must be given to the voters in Georgia. By electing not one, but two climate-focused Senate leaders in a run-off election in early 2021, these two Southern senators were absolutely necessary for creating this moment in history and shepherding the bill through the political tightrope in the Senate. We look forward to swift passage by the House of Representatives and the President's signature.”
“Our fear is – TVA is amazing at shape-shifting just a little bit when you see a change in administration. They act like they're interested in public participation. They talk a good game, but they don't actually institute the structural changes. This is a very blatant one – either they're going to let people into the day-of board meetings and allow us to address the board directly or they're not.”
