| | Tennessee Valley Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | TVA is primarily a wholesaler, selling to 158 retail power distributors and several directly served industrial or government customers. | | | In its power supply role it was given authority to enter into long term (20 years) contracts for the sale of power to government agencies and private entities. | | | Congress passed legislation in 1959 to make the TVA power system self-financing, and from that point on it would pay its own way. |

| | Why the Tennessee Valley Authority Must Be Reformed |
| | TVA counters that it contributes more than its share of local taxes through its 5-percent "payments in lieu of taxes," but shareholder-owned utilities pay state and local taxes that amount to 8.3 percent of operating revenues, plus federal taxes that equal 4 percent of operating revenues. | | | TVA has accumulated a whopping $29 billion debt, largely because of its inaccurate predictions of future electricity demand, its failure to control the costs of constructing nuclear power plants, and its unwillingness to impose rate increases in order to meet those costs. | | | TVA officials also claim that power rates must rise if these appropriations are cut, but the appropriation represents just 0.0116 of the company's annual revenue, and, more importantly, TVA would still enjoy an estimated $1.2 billion in other taxpayer subsidies. |
