“We are disappointed that FERC did not take our concerns about both the need for the project and its significant environmental risks seriously. SACE filed comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement and then followed up with additional concerns about the lack of safety regulations that address the increasing likelihood of landslides.”
“Tennessee lags far behind the national average when it comes to energy efficiency”
“The country is increasing exports of gas that will increase the price of gas, and that will hit TVA customers really, really hard”
“North Carolina is the only state in the Southeast to have formally committed to cutting carbon emissions from its electricity sector”
“reckless interference”
“The science of climate change did not change one iota on January 20, 2025, and so betting heavily on fossil fuels in a world where we have to be dealing with the implications of fossil emissions is a risky bet”
“Our country will lose its edge internationally in developing clean energy markets. And of course, we will have a lot of unnecessary pollution that will harm our health and harm our environment, that we wouldn't have if we continued with the current policies of investing in and continuing to support clean energy development.”
“The industrial rate was created to subsidize low residential rates, but industrial customers started lobbying TVA and threatened to move to other states. It resulted in sweetheart deals from TVA. After all, industrial customers have unique access to TVA and to local utility companies like Memphis Light, Gas and Water and that helps explain the sweetheart rates. TVA is hiding the ball on how it's manipulating rates to the advantage of big industrial customers at the expense of families and small businesses.”
“Memphis could handle the 150 megawatts. It's a fundamentally different request when you're going to require your own power plant to power one facility that really doesn't employ a lot of people.”
“We're entering a period that may be the largest expansion of the power system seen since it was first built. The data center growth, particularly in the Southeast, is adding thousands of megawatts of load equal in size to a small- to moderate-size utility in individual states. In that context, it's particularly valuable to reduce loads through efficiency.”
“It doesn't make sense to me to increase our reliance on gas at this moment. It's not necessarily easy to go out and weatherize a bunch of homes, but it's what we should be doing at this point.”
“This action weakens TVA's ability to make sound decisions. It sets the stage for reckless investments in unproven technologies that could burden ratepayers with billions in unnecessary costs.”
“Tennessee has a long and troubled history when it comes to nuclear energy”
TVA President and CEO Jeff Lyash announced his retirement from the nation's largest public power company, effective no later than September 30, 2025, after nearly six years of leadership. The article reports on this executive transition…
“MLGW did absolutely the right thing by not signing that long-term contract. Instead, we would like MLGW to start re-negotiating that agreement again and start using the leverage it has to encourage the use of renewable energy”
