Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5787396
This year's review of TVA's load forecasts and power supply situation indicates that TVA will have ample capacity to support high economic growth in the TVA region. Compared with last year's load forecasts, this year's forecasts have declined slightly.

This is approximately two years later than indicated in last year's power supply review. Even with this later date for the need for capacity, TVA's economic analysis indicates that the continued deferral of Hartsville A and Yellow Creek nuclear plants in the best interest of the TVA ratepayer.
