TVA faces pressure to increase transparency and renewable energy as Cheatham County plant advances

In this mention

The Tennessee Valley Authority faces mounting pressure from Congress, environmental groups, and local communities over its planned 900-megawatt natural gas plant in Cheatham County, Tennessee, and its slow renewable energy deployment compared to other utilities. Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, criticizes TVA as a renewable energy laggard, noting that Florida Power & Light has deployed more solar in a quarter than TVA has in its entire history. Bipartisan legislation introduced in Congress seeks to increase transparency in TVA's planning process and management structure, while local residents and environmental advocates argue the federal utility is not living up to its legacy of transformative regional leadership.
