The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Documented physical milestone or dated progress/reporting marker. Period-end dates represent only the reported month/quarter; they do not invent an exact operation date. Source estimates are labelled and not treated as confirmed future opening dates.

TVA FY2025 Form 10-K publishes $1.8 billion spent and $312 million expected additional spending for the 1,450 MW first replacement combined-cycle plant, as of September 30, 2025. Their sum is approximately $2.112 billion. This explicitly calculated total uses published project components, not technology cost benchmarks. Equipment and prospective expenditure for a second replacement plant are excluded. Cumberland combined-cycle replacement plant: published generating capacity 1450 MW. Operator-reported electric generating capacity; not annual energy production TVA reports this first 1,450 MW plant in construction. Its June 2026 filing reports pre-commercial operation of Cumberland Units 1 and 2 during the fiscal third quarter; this is commissioning, not proof of full commercial operation.[1]
TVA reports pre-commercial operation of Cumberland Units 1 and 2 in April–June 2026.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.

Retained only with documented physical construction, commissioning or 2025–2026 opening and published project-specific costs and electrical output. Costs use the published scope and currency; no benchmark estimates or currency conversions. MW is power capacity, not annual electricity production. Expected annual energy, where given, is a forecast. The map point is a reported plant/project location and may be approximate. Matching inventory views and excluded expansion proposals are not additive capacity.
