A Profile of the Energy Sector in Tennessee
In the 108th session of the Tennessee General Assembly, legislation was passed directing the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy at the University of Tennessee and the Sparks Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of Memphis to “…perform a study on the economic feasibility of creating and utilizing a statewide comprehensive energy plan. The study shall examine the state’s current and future energy supply and demand needs, existing energy policies, and emerging energy challenges and opportunities.” This report is our collective effort to fulfill this legislative mandate.
