Despite cost overruns and delays in its nuclear power program, TVA finished a natural gas power plant this week a month ahead of schedule and $30 million under budget.
The $790 million John Sevier Combined Cycle Gas Plant, which began generating commercial power Monday, will replace part of TVA's nearby coal plant near Rogersville, Tenn. The 880-megawatt plant is the fifth combined cycle gas plant TVA has bought or built in the past five years and will produce enough power for about 500,000 homes.
