TVA studies new system for plant at Tullahoma
In this mention
The Tennessee Valley Authority is considering building its first combined-cycle natural gas power plant in Tullahoma, Tennessee, a 510-megawatt facility capable of powering 100,000 homes. Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Coalition for Clean Energy, acknowledges that gas-fired units are more efficient and environmentally friendly than other combustion sources, but expresses concern that TVA is investing in new power plants rather than pursuing demand-reduction strategies to address its $26 billion debt.
