The Johnsonville Combustion Turbine Plant is a 1.2-gigawatt (1,200 MW), simple cycle natural gas power plant located in New Johnsonville, Tennessee in Humphreys County, Tennessee. It is operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
Background
In 1975 the TVA constructed 16 combustion turbine units at Johnsonville. Four more combustion turbine units were added in 2000.
[1] These 20 units have a combined generating capacity of 1.2 gigawatts.
[2] With the closure of the
Johnsonville Fossil Plant, the TVA added a
heat recovery generator to one of the combustion turbine units in 2017 to create the steam needed to produce
titanium dioxide (TiO
2) at the nearby Chemours plant.
