TVA emphasizes the ongoing work at Cumberland Fossil and natural gas systems

During the Jura age in the history of the earth, three meteor effects met the current state of Tennessee.

Today is the largest of these events near Cumberland City along the Cumberland River, east of Dover – and is the home of the past, the presence of Tennessee Valley Authority in the fossil industry.

An aging but Heartic coal factory Fossil coal source is located in the northern part of the crater, and an early ground floor earth gas system in the combined cycle is located on the southwestern edge.

The former is TVa's largest coal in the seven -state system. His construction began in 1968; His operation: five years later. Even now – with only two stacks that fire at around 1,225 megawatts during the top loads and currently two more demolition – more than 22,000 tons of coal are fed every day to fill 11 load barges.

More than 200 employees are responsible for energy creation, environmental controls and the reinvestment of the by -products – and let yourself be left behind as a waste – and questions about the deadlines 2026 and 2028 remain, since TVA continues to reduce CO2 footprint.

The plant manager Travis Patterson, Travis Patterson, still said more than two nuclear units.

The latter is a 2.1 billion dollar project in the last phase. In the past 14 months, more than 1.7 million cubic meters of dirt and basic rock have been moved to build a steam and turbine system of 1,450 megawatts that can receive a 30-inch gas line from children Morgan.

With more than 1,800 men and women who scurry on site, many of them will be local and regional union workers, a 500-kilovolt-indoor Switch Yard, the largest North America when he comes online.

The gas was to be made available by December 1st, and the external transition of electrons into the network – especially towards Marshall County, Johnsonville, Montgomery County and Davidson County – could start until March 1, 2027.

Sam Vinson, General Manager of Large Projects for TVA, said that more than 1.7 million working hours have been received in these vertical build-one one in the first use of air capacitors by the company and numerous other technological progress.

Scott Fiedler, Media and Public Relations for TVA, confirmed that this part of the country “grows only” as far as the population, load requirements and gross domestic products affect – all of which exceed some national average values.

He added this, he was only three of the reasons. The biggest, he said, is that there is a long list of houses that need a stable, reliable service.

TVA can currently produce 32,000 megawatts of electricity. More than 3,570 megawatts are immediately constructed. Up to 3,000 more megawatts are in the planning phase. And more than 440 megawatts in “Additional fleet efficiency” are expected until 2035.
