TVA private meeting with consultants to MLGW stirs pot in electric power debate
MLGW president and CEO J.T. Young on Feb 27, 2020. A meeting Friday, July 17, between TVA leaders and a team of consultants working on the final version of a report for MLGW is the latest dust-up in the competition for MLGW’s electric power needs. (Daily Memphian file)
Critics of TVA contend the Friday meeting is “highly improper.” MLGW says the meeting is part of due diligence on the way to a final version of the report that will play a large role in determining whether the city-owned utility stays with or leaves TVA.
