TVA steam plants and hydro balance in Tennessee Valley
The written testimony argues TVA should build a Watts Bar steam plant to firm up hydro capacity, noting steam power has long been part of TVA and private utilities. It warns that denying the plant could force private firms to buy power at dump rates, costing the government about 2 million dollars annually, while time may be critical for national defense and regional development.
