rules phasing out fossil fuels threaten Tenaska's ~8 GW gas portfolio, as 2025 legislative pushes (e.g., California 2045, New York 2040) and bills targeting 100% clean power could force early retirements or costly retrofits costing hundreds of millions; in 2024 Tenaska reported $X of gas-plant assets on its balance sheet. Failure to adapt quickly could trigger significant write-downs and margin compression amid rising carbon compliance costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sub-highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SWOT-Content-Threats-Storm-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRapid Decline in Renewable Energy Costs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFalling LCOE for utility-scale solar (~$26-$34\/MWh in 2024 US Dept. of Energy data) and onshore wind (~$30-$40\/MWh) pushes gas plants down the dispatch stack, cutting run-hours and margins for Tenaska's thermal fleet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf battery storage prices fall toward $100\/kWh or lower (Lazard 2024 shows unsubsidized pack costs ~$132\/kWh), fast-charging duration and lower capacity costs could erode peaker demand within 5-10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat shift-combined with rising carbon policy risk and merchant market prices that traded below $20\/MWh in some 2023\/24 periods-threatens long-term viability of Tenaska's core gas-fired generation assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-2_new_design\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SWOT-Content-Threats-Image.svg\" alt=\"Explore a Preview\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SWOT-Content-Threats-Storm-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCybersecurity Risks to Critical Infrastructure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a major energy-grid operator, Tenaska faces high-value targeting from state-sponsored and criminal cyberattacks; in 2024 U.S. energy-sector incidents rose 32%, raising breach likelihood.
