Court Rules TVA's Decision to Build Kingston Gas Plant Broke the Law
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A U.S. District Court ruled that the Tennessee Valley Authority's decision to build the Kingston Gas Plant violated the National Environmental Policy Act, vacating TVA's environmental impact statement and record of decision. The ruling came after environmental groups sued TVA in 2024, showing the utility failed to evaluate cleaner alternatives and unlawfully committed to billions in fossil fuel spending before formally deciding to build.
The court order remains sealed; TVA has asked for permission to ignore the ruling and continue building the plant, so the outcome remains contested.
