I don't understand this. The agency that certifies the Green Power Switch program allows no more than 50% methane power within the mix of renewables, and TVA hit that limit quickly. Ever since they've been desperate for solar installations. Good participation in the Generation Partners program ought to mean they could start work on a new methane facility, at Chestnut Ridge for example.
