TVA also boasts the highest amount of renewable generation in the Southeast and expects to add 7,000 to 10,000 MW of solar energy by 2040. At the same time, we’ll offer uncapped, industrial-scale solar installations to private industrial customers through our proprietary Green Invest program. Our award-winning proprietary Green Invest program enables uncapped, utility scale solar installations to meet the sustainability needs of a variety of customers.
