Environmental Groups Threaten Lawsuit Against TVA Over Clean Air Act Violations at Coal Plants

Several prominent environmental organizations are preparing to sue the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), alleging the federal utility is violating the Clean Air Act. The groups claim TVA's decision to reverse the planned retirement of its Cumberland coal-fired power plants has led to ongoing unlawful pollution. This legal action underscores ongoing pressure on utilities to transition away from fossil fuels and embrace cleaner energy sources relevant to supporting EV charging infrastructure.
