TVA begins steps to shut down its biggest coal plant
In this mention
TVA has initiated a public scoping process to shut down its largest coal power plant, Cumberland Fossil Plant, as part of a broader plan to phase out all coal-fired generation by 2035. Environmental groups including SACE, the Southern Environmental Law Center, Sierra Club, and Energy Alabama jointly oppose TVA's proposal to replace coal with natural gas plants, arguing the utility should instead pursue energy efficiency, renewables, and demand response to meet decarbonization goals.
