The Tennessee Valley Authority is set to discuss progress in updating the utilities long-range energy resources plan along with more than 1,100 comments from the public.

The forum is scheduled for Wednesday, March 26 at 7 p.m. EDT at TVA's Missionary Ridge office building in Chattanooga, and through a simultaneous online webinar link.

The 2015 Integrated Resource Plan is being revised to help TVA determine power generation resources that will continue to balance the region's energy supply among a variety of sources, including nuclear, coal, gas, hydroelectric, renewables and energy efficiency.

The updated IRP, to be completed in about a year, will address changes in the economy and the electric utility industry since the existing energy plan was completed in 2011.
