Transmission

摘要

The Tennessee Valley Authority has budgeted $420 million for 325 transmission projects in its fiscal 2014, beginning Oct. 1, a utility executive says. Changes in the federal power producer's generation fleet, pockets of load growth, aging equipment, and clean-air and other regulatory requirements are the major drivers for the projects, a number of which were approved by TVA's board in August, Clayton Clem, vice president of electric system projects, told ENR on Sept. 6. New 500kV substations are planned in Chattanooga and north Nashville, he says.
