UPSToday. - This is one of information to you about the solar power with the article titled with Backers of solar power want TVA to do more to promote sunshine power that written by Dave Flessner that published in Times Free Press site.
Over the past three decades, the Tennessee Valley Authority has cut carbon emissions from its power plants in half and set a goal of reaching a 70 percent drop in carbon dioxide releases by 2030.
But environmental activists want the federal utility to do more, especially with renewable sources such as solar and wind generation.
"I'm disappointed because I'm afraid we're watching TVA's leadership on renewable energy really slip and decline," Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, told the TVA board recently. "A number of us have been active stakeholders in TVA's planning process, and we really value that. But I'm beginning to think this is more of a slow walk-and-talk process as opposed to actually getting to the root causes and working to solve these problems. All of the trend lines for renewable energy seem to be going in the wrong direction."
Although solar power generation is increasing in the Tennessee Valley, TVA trails other Southern utilities such as Georgia Power, Duke Energy and Florida Power and Light in the amount of solar-generated electricity the utilities are adding to the grid. TVA also has balked at a request from the solar power industry to revise its individual generation limits on its Green Power Providers program to help TVA meet its target for solar power.
At the same time, TVA has yet to agree to buy wind-generated power from one of the biggest wind projects in the nation, even though developers of the project said it could deliver power at competitive costs for TVA.
