The Tennessee Valley Authority is celebrating after the Paradise Combined Cycle Plant in Muhlenberg County won a 2024 Generation Knowledge Service Plant Operational Excellence Award.
According to a news release, these awards recognize power plants that have demonstrated excellence in cost and operational management, as well as improved performance and reliability. The Paradise Plant was named the top performer in the Combined Cycle Plants category—these excellence awards are based on a review of cost and performance data over the most recent five-year period.
That analysis also includes a weighted comparison of non-fuel operation and maintenance costs and availability and reliability measures during the evaluation period and winners must also finish in the top half for safety performance.
