TVA IRP Act

This bill establishes a new Office of Public Participation within the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to improve public engagement in TVA's energy planning. It requires TVA to create a formal process for public input, including a 100-day public comment period before releasing draft energy plans and requiring responses to public inquiries within 15 days. The bill mandates that TVA's integrated resource plans include detailed modeling assumptions, show how public feedback influenced the plan, and address factors like resilience and public health impacts. These changes directly affect TVA's customers and communities in the Tennessee Valley region by increasing transparency and participation in energy decision-making.
