The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is accepting feedback on an Environmental Assessment report for its proposed Golden Triangle Solar Project in Lowndes County, Miss. The project stems from a 2019 request for proposals (RFPs) for renewable energy resources, aimed at helping TVA meet goals established in its 2019 Integrated Resource Plan. The solar energy project would clock in at 50mw and be accompanied by a 50mw/200mwh battery energy storage system. TVA has tentatively approved an agreement to buy the project’s electricity and environmental attributes under a power purchase agreement. About 67 percent of the project sits on land previously used for agriculture. The project covers other portions of forests and wetlands, and two areas of concern for conservationists. TVA outlined two courses of action following the comment period: A “No Action Alternative” in which TVA would have no involvement and an “Action Alternative” in which the development and PPA would be carried out as planned.
