TVA, the nation’s largest public utility, is moving forward with a long-term plan focused on building more gas plants. The TVA Board, the utility’s only regulator, with members all appointed by President Donald Trump and trained by TVA staff, approved a draft “Integrated Resource Plan” on Thursday.

An energy company is developing a $142 million facility in far western Kentucky that will take agricultural waste from local farms and businesses and convert it into a renewable form of natural gas.

The Tennessee Valley Authority has moved to strike language about renewable energy generation and diversity, equity and inclusion while reversing plans to retire aging coal power plants.

A new study says Kentucky ratepayers could save billions of dollars through 2050 if electric utilities invested more in renewable energy and energy storage, retired “uneconomic” and aging coal-fired power plants, and avoided overbuilding natural gas-fired power.

Tennessee may become the first state to legally define gas as “renewable energy.”

Congress should reform the Tennessee Valley Authority’s governance and energy planning as the federally-owned electric utility faces growing demands for power, a renewable energy organization says in a report released Thursday.

When you flip the switch, the lights come on. But in Illinois, after years of sweeping reforms to the energy industry and growing demand for electricity, that premise is coming into question.

For the first time ever, TVA will be rewarding its leaders for adding renewables and batteries to the grid, according to a report filed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last week.

The coal-rich state wants to land the first new U.S. smelter in 45 years. But the deal won’t happen unless Kentucky can furnish lots of clean energy.

A utility case that will influence the future of Kentucky's energy portfolio began Tuesday. At its heart is whether Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities can retire several coal generators and replace them with a combination of natural gas and renewables.
