A draft assessment of the Tennessee Valley Authority's plan for the next 20 years suggests that the utility might reduce its coal consumption and expand its nuclear fleet as soon as 2018. TVA would benefit from a diversified power-generation approach and the addition of energy-efficiency and demand-response measures, the report said. The public-comment period for the plan ends in November, after which the proposal will be sent to the Environmental Protection Agency for review.
