KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tennessee Valley Authority reported $6.5 billion in total operating revenues on 81 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity sales for the six months ending Mar. 31, 2025. Total operating revenues increased 9% over the same period last year, primarily due to higher sales volume and higher effective base rates. Sales of electricity increased approximately 4% compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by increases within the data processing, hosting, and related services sector and a 2% increase in heating degree days.     

"Our teams at TVA work every day to deliver affordable, reliable, and resilient power while building more generation to meet the current and future needs of the 10 million residents, businesses and industries of the Tennessee Valley region," said Don Moul, TVA President and CEO. "The growth of our economy depends on having reliable energy infrastructure, and TVA is leading that charge. We're making some of the largest capital investments in our history, which will help power the next generation of American jobs."

Fuel and purchased power expense was $183 million higher in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 over the same period of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in purchased power expense due to less availability of nuclear generation. For the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, 46% of TVA's power supply was carbon-free — coming from nuclear, hydroelectric, solar and wind.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $93 million over the same period last year, driven primarily by increased labor costs. Depreciation and amortization expense was $68 million higher than the same period last year, primarily related to an increase in amortization expense and asset retirement decisions. 

Interest expense was $573 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2025, or $45 million higher than the same period last year. TVA's net income was $533 million for the six months ending on Mar. 31, 2025, $99 million higher than the same period of the prior year, primarily due to higher operating revenue.  

To unleash American energy, TVA has 5,500 megawatts of new firm, dispatchable generation under construction or being evaluated for potential construction. TVA has added nearly 1,400 megawatts of new gas units at Paradise in Kentucky and Colbert in Alabama.

"We continue to see increased power demand and TVA is focused on providing power at the lowest feasible cost as we make significant investments to meet the Tennessee Valley region's future power needs," said Tom Rice, TVA's Chief Financial Officer. "We will achieve this with continued financial discipline – TVA's balance sheet is in the best health in decades, and the Enterprise Transformation Program we started last year will help us ensure our business is running as efficiently as possible."

Don Moul named TVA's Chief Executive Officer

"I'm excited about this opportunity and will build on the momentum that our team has created," said Don Moul. "I will ensure that TVA remains focused on continued excellence in operations, financial discipline, and a commitment to the fundamentals of our mission of service."
