The Magnolia gas-fired plant that TVA will buy from Kelson Energy includes three power generating units, with 909MW of capacity.

This fully permitted facility near Ashland in Benton County is located in the TVA service area and is already connected to the TVA electrical grid.

According to TVA, the transaction to buy the power plant is expected to close before the end of this month.

TVA is a corporation owned by the US government and provides electricity for nine million people in parts of seven southeastern US states.
