Community leaders, Bill McKibben call on TVA to stop gas buildout ahead of Nashville board meeting
“TVA is moving forward with the largest gas build out by 2028 of any utility in the country under an out-of-date IRP [Integrated Resource Plan]. Does the world, let alone the electric sector, look anything like we thought it would in 2019? Telling us that the 2019 IRP is still valid erodes trust. These gas plants will drive TVA's debt toward its debt ceiling, increase customer bills, are unreliable in cold weather and do not meet EPA regulations. Several recent reports show a clear path forward without the need for new gas to meet load growth.”
