Expanding
the mountain
In order to make Green Power Switch available to more customers, TVA has
begun planning for an expansion of its two-megawatt wind energy facility
at Buffalo Mountain Wind Park near Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
TVA issued a request for proposals (RFP) that would allow it to buy wind energy under a power purchase agreement and/or contract for the turnkey engineering and construction of a wind energy facility.
Proposals submitted that met the requirements specified in the RFP are being evaluated to determine if they will provide the best overall value in supporting Green Power Switch.
