TVA's long-term power planning sparks concerns

In this mention

TVA is seeking public input on its long-term integrated resource plan to meet growing energy demands across its seven-state region, which includes options for adding natural gas, solar, and wind generation while retiring coal plants by 2035. Environmental advocates, including Stephen Smith of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, criticize the draft plan as too broad and overly reliant on fossil fuel technology, arguing that TVA should prioritize renewable energy and battery storage instead. The utility plans to hold 10 open houses across its service area in October and November to gather feedback on the draft document.
