The nation’s largest public utility plans to switch out 1,200 of its vehicles for electric ones by 2030NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The nation's largest public utility plans to switch out 1,200 of its vehicles for electric ones by 2030, furthering its role in that market for a power supplier that also plans to help add charging stations across the region, the utility's top official said Wednesday. Tennessee Valley Authority CEO Jeff Lyash announced the changeout plans within its current fleet of about 3,800 vehicles during a board meeting. The utility is also evaluating reductions in the medium-duty vehicles through efficiency and retirements, Hopson said. Of the 153 local power companies served by TVA, 144 are part of a long-term power initiative that results in another 3.1% credit. Its customers include some businesses and local power distributors serving 10 million people.
