TVA to keep burn cleaner coal costs steady this summer
TVA will not pay much more to maintain its cleaner coal pledge as low sulfur coal prices have fallen by about 1.5 to 2 dollars per ton in the East and Midwest. The utility operates 11 plants that supply roughly 61 percent of power across seven states and is set to approve coal contracts exceeding 400 million dollars next week. The agency spends over 1 billion annually on coal and is making changes to meet federal clean air standards.
