# TVA Seeks Interconnection Review Comments

The Tennessee Valley Authority opened a public comment period on October 21, 2026, for a draft programmatic environmental impact statement covering transmission activities associated with generator interconnection requests across its Power Service Area. Comments are due **November 19, 2026**—29 days after the comment period opened—and may help shape the environmental-review framework for future interconnection-related transmission work. TVA also cites more than **$13 billion** in planned power-system investments through fiscal year 2029, but this announcement is not a solicitation or contract award.

- Energy-sector contractors and project developers can review the draft PEIS and submit comments to nepa@tva.gov by November 19, 2026, to inform the framework that may apply to future transmission work.
- The planned investment figure signals a substantial power-system investment pipeline, but does not establish that specific funds or procurements are currently available.
- Businesses should distinguish this environmental-review process from a contracting opportunity; the announcement identifies no solicitation, award, contract value, or contract number.
