Power Plant Fuel Types, Emissions & Pollution Factors

Tennessee Valley Authority is the 120th worst ranked supplier when it comes to total emissions, with the provider's electricity sales resulting in 5,766,105,795.88 kilograms of CO2 emissions per year. The supplier also ranks 1476th highest in emissions per megawatt hour sold, averaging 284.7 kilograms of CO2 emissions emissions per megawatt hour sold. This is, perhaps, the more important of the two metrics. The company's power facilities primarily use Nuclear to produce electricity.

When taken together with Natural Gas (22.97%) and Coal (16.37%), these three fuel types make up 123,190,711.65 megawatt hours (or 86.36%) company's electricity generation. Tennessee Valley Authority has ownership of or associations with 52 electricity producing plants within their service area. This is the 44th most electricity plants associated with a supplier out of the 3511 suppliers providing power that we observe in the country.
