First Tier 4 Machines Tested On Tennessee Valley Gas Line Construction

摘要

The Tennessee Valley Authority serves 9 million customers in seven states, and two-thirds of its power is generated from coal. So the fact that Spectra Energy is installing a 24-inch gas pipeline through northern Tennessee to feed a TVA power plant is news in itself. But the construction of the North East Tennessee pipeline (NET), due to be completed in September, touches on some of the most discussed issues in the industry. Tightening emissions standards are at the core of the project. Barbara Martocci of TVA explains, "We have a vision to be a reliable, clean provider of energy. We have worked to continue providing electricity to the 9 million consumers in the valley, and one of the things we are doing is reducing our dependence on coal while we continue to provide that power."
