OVERVIEW OF TVA DRAFT 2025 IRP + EIS
Overview of TVA Draft 2025 Integrated Resource Plan A Bright Future
Energy is a critical part of everyday life. We use it to turn on our lights. Charge our smart phones. Heat or cool our homes. Do our work. And so much more.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) provides power used by approximately 10 million people across the seven-state region. Periodically, TVA takes a broader look at how we’ll meet the region’s future energy needs.
With input from stakeholders and the public, TVA is developing its 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) – a plan that will help shape TVA’s energy system through 2050 and ensure that people have affordable, reliable, resilient and increasingly cleaner energy for decades to come. TVA initiated the 2025 IRP based on movement in the key signposts identified in the 2019 IRP. The region’s population and industry are growing and energy demand is increasing. Policies and regulations are changing. Industrial companies are electrifying their operations. And new, cleaner technologies are emerging.
TVA is also preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential impacts associated with the IRP.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT The planning direction established by the IRP will guide what power-generation resources and approximately how much of these resources will be needed to power homes and businesses across the Tennessee Valley region for years.
The planning process is detailed and rigorous, but a major key to its success is simple: we need your input.
