SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cheatham County Generation Site (CHG)
would generate approximately 900 Megawatts (MW) and replace generation
capacity for a portion of the Cumberland Fossil Plant (CUF) second unit
retirement planned by the end of 2028. The CHG CTs would be composed of
multiple natural gas-fired frame CTs and natural gas-fired and oil-
fired (i.e., dual-fuel) Aeroderivative CTs. CHG would provide flexible
and dispatchable transmission grid support and facilitate the
integration of renewable generation onto the TVA bulk transmission
system, consistent with the 2019 Integrated Resource Plan. TVA is
inviting public comment concerning the scope of the EIS, alternatives
being considered, and environmental issues that should be addressed as
a part of this EIS.
On May 19, 2023, TVA published a Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS
to address the potential environmental impacts associated with the
proposed construction and operation of a simple cycle Combustion
Turbine (CT) plant and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on a parcel
of TVA-owned land in Cheatham County, Tennessee. The open house that
TVA planned to have on May 24, 2023, has been rescheduled and will be
held on June 21, 2023. Because of the rescheduling of the open house,
the comment period will remain open until June 27, 2023, so commenters
have a week after the open house to provide their comments. The TVA
website listed above contains relevant information about the open house
and the proposed project. TVA urges the public to review this
information on the website prior to submitting comments.
Susan Jacks,
General Manager, Environmental Resource Compliance.
