Johnsonville Fossil Plant  TVA’s Johnsonville Fossil Plant is
located on 720 acres of land near Waverly, Tenn. It is named for
the town of Johnsonville, which was flooded during the formation
of the adjacent Kentucky Lake. The town was relocated several
miles south and named New Johnsonville.  Johnsonville is the
oldest fossil plant in the TVA fleet. Plant construction began
May 12, 1949 with the first of the plant’s 10 operating units
going into service Oct. 27, 1951. The final unit began
generating electricity on Aug. 20, 1959.  Johnsonville can
generate about 1,500 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a
year, enough to power approximately 800,000 homes. Units 1
through 4 also provide steam to a nearby DuPont plant in a co-
generation configuration. Johnsonville is the only TVA coal-
fired co-generation facility.  Nevertheless, units 1 through 4
will cease generation by December 2017, as part of a consent
decree with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Units 5
through 10 were idled in 2012.  Toxics Re
