KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tennessee Valley Authority reported $12.3 billion in total operating revenues on 163 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity sales for the year ended Sep. 30, 2024.  Total operating revenues increased 2% over last year, primarily due to higher effective base rates and higher sales volume.  Sales of electricity increased approximately 4% compared to last year, primarily driven by a 20% increase in cooling degree days.    

"Extreme temperatures and natural disasters tested us, and TVA's workforce rose to the challenge to deliver record performance this year," Jeff Lyash, TVA president and CEO, said.  "We supported the growing needs of our customers with reliable, affordable power, maintained operations during extreme demand, continued to invest in the reliability and resiliency of our system, and advanced cleaner energy."  

Fuel and purchased power expense was $432 million lower, driven primarily by  lower fuel and purchased power prices.  Fifty-two percent of TVA's power supply was carbon-free in fiscal year 2024 - coming from nuclear, hydroelectric and other renewables.

Operating and maintenance expense increased by $269 million driven primarily by labor costs, an increase in outage expense, and contract labor expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $75 million over the prior year, primarily due to the decision to retire Bull Run, as Bull Run became fully depreciated in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Interest expense was $10 million higher for the year ended Sep. 30, 2024, primarily due to higher balances of debt.

TVA's net income was $1.1 billion for the fiscal year 2024, which was $635 million higher than the prior year due mainly to higher operating revenues and lower operating expenses. 

"TVA's capital needs are increasing as we fulfill our business plan and make investments in the power system like the $3.9 billion we invested in 2024 to meet load growth and transition the power system," John Thomas, TVA's chief financial and strategy officer, said.  "Keeping costs low, borrowing strategically, and raising base rates responsibly, will ensure TVA maintains strong financial health as we fund these critical investments for the future."
