MLGW power provider bid process was flawed, consultants say
EnerVision execs say they wouldn’t advise MLGW do another IRP
In the summer of 2022, the price of natural gas spiked. While the rest of the companies interested in MLGW’s power supply contract adjusted their prices, TVA was still using pricing prior to that time. Their bid came in lower, and everyone else’s came in higher — much higher.
