The Tennessee Valley Authority released its final Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and associated Environmental Impact Statement on Friday that evaluates options to meet the region’s power generation needs over the next 20 years, including adding up to 14 gigawatts of solar generation by 2038.
Under development since February 2018, TVA’s IRP is a power planning roadmap that examines a variety of economic, regulatory and market-driven scenarios and strategies – both within and outside TVA’s control – to help TVA respond to changing energy demands while continuing to provide reliable power at the lowest possible cost.
