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. On June 20, 2023, TVA
extended the public comment period to June 27, 2023 (88 FR 39903). On
June 21, 2023, TVA held a public open house. Due to public interest and
multiple requests, TVA is extending the public comment period until
July 7, 2023. The extension will allow the public more time after the
June 21st open house to provide their written comments. The TVA website
listed above contains relevant information about the proposed project.
TVA urges the public to review this information on the website prior to
submitting comments.

General Manager, Environmental Resource Compliance.
