Watershed Geo, a global technology provider for environmental and civil infrastructures, will partner with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to accelerate decarbonization innovation and bring new life to retired coal plants. In TVA's pursuit of a 100-megawatt solar generation project on its closed coal ash site at Shawnee Fossil Plant, it has selected to use Watershed Geo's impoundment closure technologies and innovative solar technology. This repur-posing of coal ash impoundments to green energy production facilities is a key initiative of TVA in reducing its carbon levels 80% by 2035, compared to its 2005 levels, and aspiring to be net-zero by 2050. In addition to the innovative approach to green energy, Watershed Geo's solutions provide an opportunity to eliminate the need to develop large tracks of land for solar energy and allows for the use of existing infrastructure at the plant, two key features to reduce impact on the surrounding community. |
