TVA's "Green" Power

Requesting proposals for completing TVA's Regenesys Plant in Columbus, Mississippi

Added 2006-05-07 thanks to FBO Daily

This news follows news of cancellation of TVA's "Green" Power Regenesys^TM Energy Storage for Columbus Air Force Base

That cancellation followed cancellation of proposed Regenesys^TM Energy Storage for TVA's Buffalo Mountain Wind Power Plant before construction began. Although they blamed engineering and financial problems in the articles, inadequate risk/reward is another valid reason for cancellation.

Description: TVA is soliciting proposals for completing its Regenesys Plant located in Columbus, Mississippi. TVA began the Regenesys project in 1999. Construction of the facility began in 2000 on approximately 3 acres. The facility is approximately 85% complete. The facility is currently designed for a redox flow battery based on sodium and bromine chemistry, which was intended to supply 12 MW for 10 hours nominally to Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB) in order to reduce line loading into the base during peak hours, provide near UPS backup support for critical systems at the base, and to provide VAR support to the TVA grid. The plant was designed to be versatile so that a number of energy storage modes could be explored and their value to TVA evaluated. TVA desires to dispose of the facility in a manner that would represent the best overall value to TVA. This could include multiple options, including, but not limited to, revenue from a sale, lease or license, revenue from future power generation, as well as other energy technologies that may be adaptable to the site. To express your interest in receiving a copy of the RFP, please contact Steve Jones at dsjones2@tva.gov.

Quote of the moment

The United States is the only great nation whose government is operated without a budget. The fact is to be the more striking when it is considered that budgets and budget procedures are the outgrowth of democratic doctrines and have an important part in developing the modern constitutional rights.... The constitutional purpose of a budget is to make government responsive to public opinion and responsible for its acts.

~ William Howard Taft (1857–1930), U.S. president. Message to Congress, December 1909. Henry F. Pringle, The Life and Times of William Howard Taft, 2: 606, Farrar & Rinehart (1939).

Taft inherited a $59,000,000 deficit from Roosevelt. By July 1910 he had a surplus of $13,000,000. In March 1910 he appointed a Commission on Efficiency and Economy to carry on the work. ~
