TVA releases long-awaited draft 2025 Integrated Resource Plan

The nation's largest public utility is now seeking public comments through November 26.

The Tennessee Valley Authority has released its long-awaited draft 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The IRP is a comprehensive, transparent study that evaluates how TVA could meet the energy needs of the Valley region for the coming decades.

It considers resource needs and options, as well as physical and operational constraints, risks, and proposed resource choices. The IRP provides strategic direction for how TVA can continue to provide affordable, reliable, resilient, and increasingly cleaner power to the Tennessee Valley region. The accompanying EIS analyzes potential environmental impacts to the Valley that could result from the IRP.

The documents are available for review and public comment through November 26. We encourage you to review the documents and share your thoughts and feedback. The documents and feedback form may be found at this link. In addition, we will be holding virtual public meetings and a number of in-person meetings around the Valley region throughout the public comment period to share the IRP and EIS and answer questions.

More information about those meetings, including dates and locations, may be
found at the same link.
