TVA Regional Energy Resource Council Meeting
The Tennessee Valley Authority will host a meeting of the Regional Energy Resource Council, which provides guidance on how the seven-state power agency manages its resources, ranging from operating diversely fueled power plants to using energy efficiency, and managing transmission issues. The meeting includes presentations on TVA’s asset planning and carbon strategy, and a discussion of innovation initiatives. Since 2005, TVA has reduced emissions by 63 percent by creating a diverse generation portfolio including adding 1.6 gigawatts of nuclear capacity and 1.6 gigawatts of wind and solar; and retiring 8.6 gigawatts of coal capacity that was at the end of its useful life by the end of 2023, according to the agency’s recent Sustainability Report.
