TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY
Integrated Resource Plan
Tennessee Valley Authority.
Issuance of record of decision.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Tennessee Valley
Authority (TVA) has decided to adopt
the preferred alternative in its final
environmental impact statement (Final
EIS) for the Integrated Resource Plan
(IRP). The TVA Board of Directors
approved the IRP and authorized staff to
implement the preferred alternative at
its August 22, 2019 meeting. This
alternative, identified as the Target
Power Supply Mix in the Final EIS, will
guide TVA’s selection of energy
resource options to meet the energy
needs of the Tennessee Valley region
over the next 20 years. The energy
resource options include continued
investment in TVA’s hydroelectric
resources, license renewal for nuclear
resources, expansion of solar and
natural gas-fired generation, increased
energy efficiency, demand response,
and energy storage, and decreased coalfired generation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is provided in accordance with
the Council on Environmental Quality’s
regulations (40 CFR 1500 to 1508) and
TVA’s procedures for implementing the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA).
TVA is an agency and instrumentality
of the United States, established by an
act of Congress in 1933, to foster the
social and economic welfare of the
people of the Tennessee Valley region
and to promote the proper use and
conservation of the region’s natural
resources. One component of this
mission is the generation, transmission,
and sale of reliable and affordable
electric energy. TVA operates the
nation’s largest public power system,
providing electricity to nearly 10
million people in an 80,000-square mile
area comprised of most of Tennessee
and parts of Alabama, Georgia,
Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina,
and Virginia. It provides wholesale
power to 154 independent local power
companies and 58 directly-served large
industries and federal facilities. The
TVA Act requires the TVA power
system to be self-supporting and operate
on a nonprofit basis and directs TVA to
sell power at rates as low as feasible.
Dependable generating capability on
the TVA power system is approximately
37,500 megawatts (MW). TVA generates
most of the power it distributes with 3
nuclear plants, 6 coal-fired plants, 9
natural gas-fired combustion turbine
plants, 8 natural gas-fired combinedcycle plants, 29 hydroelectric plants, a
pumped-storage hydroelectric plant, a
diesel-fired facility, and 14 small solar
photovoltaic facilities. TVA has gas-cofiring potential at one coal-fired site as
well as biomass co-firing potential at its
coal-fired sites. A portion of this
delivered power is provided through
long-term power purchase agreements.
In fiscal year 2018, TVA efficiently
delivered 163 billion kilowatt-hours of
electricity to customers from a power
supply that was 39 percent nuclear, 26
percent natural gas-fired, 21 percent
coal-fired, 10 percent hydroelectric, and
3 percent wind and solar. The
remaining one percent results from TVA
programmatic energy efficiency efforts.
TVA transmits electricity from
generating facilities over 16,200 circuit
miles of transmission lines. Like other
utility systems, TVA has power
interchange agreements with utilities
surrounding its service territory and
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

purchases and sells power on an
economic basis almost daily.
TVA completes IRPs to determine the
most effective energy resource strategies
that will meet demand for electricity in
its service area over a 20-year planning
period. The recently completed IRP
updates TVA’s 2015 IRP. Consistent
with Section 113 of the Energy Policy
Act of 1992, codified within the TVA
Act, TVA employs a least-cost system
planning process in developing its IRPs.
This process takes into account the
demand for electricity, energy resource
diversity, flexibility, reliability, costs,
risks, environmental impacts, and the
unique attributes of different energy
resources.
Future Demand for Energy
TVA uses state-of-the-art energy
forecasting models to predict future
demands on its system. Because of the
uncertainty in predicting future
demands, TVA developed high,
medium, and low forecasts for both
peak load (in MW) and annual net
system energy (in gigawatt-hours, GWh)
through 2038. Peak load is predicted to
change at average annual rates of +0.3
percent in the medium-load forecast
(Current Outlook Scenario), ¥0.7
percent in the low-load forecast, and
+1.7 percent in the high-load forecast.
Net system energy is predicted to
remain flat in the medium-load forecast,
decline at an average annual rate of 1.5
percent in the low-load forecast, and
grow at an average annual rate of 2.0
percent in the high-load forecast.
Based on these load forecasts, TVA’s
current firm capacity (TVA generation,
energy efficiency and demand response
measures, and power purchase
agreements), and including planning
reserve margins of 17 percent for the
summer peak season and 25 percent for
the winter peak season, TVA would
need additional energy resources in the
future. The medium-load case needs are
about 2,700 MW of additional capacity
and effectively no additional energy by
2028, growing to about 5,600 MW and
1,700 GWh by 2038.
Alternatives Considered
Five alternative energy resource
strategies were evaluated in the Draft
EIS and IRP. These resource planning
strategies were identified as potential
alternative means of serving future
electrical energy demands on the TVA
system while meeting least-cost system
planning requirements. These
alternative strategies were:
Strategy A—Base Case (No Action
Alternative): This strategy represents the
continued implementation of the 2015
IRP, but also reflects subsequent
