TVA aims to build 100 MW solar installation on retired coal site in Kentucky

In this mention

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 2024. The project aligns with TVA's broader decarbonization strategy, though the utility has faced criticism for proposing a new gas unit to replace retiring coal capacity. SACE has challenged TVA's environmental analysis, urging FERC to consider renewable and efficiency alternatives to gas generation.
