The Tennessee Valley Authority will talk to the Oak Ridge City Council on Monday about the potential closure of the Bull Run Fossil Plant in Claxton.

The informational briefing is scheduled from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, February 11, in the Oak Ridge Municipal Building Training Room at 200 South Tulane Avenue.

The briefing is scheduled to include information on other activities related to the Bull Run Fossil Plant, which is across the Clinch River from Oak Ridge.

TVA has asked for public input on a review of the potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts of closing Bull Run, a single-generator coal-fired power plant, and Paradise Fossil Plant, which has one coal-fired generator still operating near Drakesboro, Kentucky.

Call the Oak Ridge City Clerk’s Office at (865) 425-3411 for more information about Monday’s meeting.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
