Register now for today's 9:30 a.m. ET conference call discussing TVA's second quarter financial results.
TVA reported $5.9 billion in total operating revenues as sales of electricity increased approximately 3% compared to the same period last year.
Total operating revenues decreased 1% primarily due to a decrease in fuel cost recovery revenue, driven by lower fuel and purchased power prices.
During the quarter, TVA successfully met an all-time power demand record of 34,577 megawatts, surpassing the previous record of 33,482 set in August 2007.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tennessee Valley Authority reported $5.9 billion in total operating revenues on 78 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity sales for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Total operating revenues decreased 1% over the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in fuel cost recovery revenue, driven by lower fuel and purchased power prices. Sales of electricity increased approximately 3% compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in heating degree days.

"TVA is a national leader in carbon reduction, but we aren't satisfied," said Jeff Lyash, TVA President and CEO. "We are committed to a clean energy transition, while maintaining our focus on delivering affordable, reliable, and resilient energy. Our investments in reliability and resiliency paid dividends last quarter as, during Winter Storm Heather, TVA successfully met the highest recorded peak demand for power in our history."

Fuel and purchased power expense was $331 million lower in the first half of fiscal year 2024 over the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower effective fuel rates and lower purchased power market prices. For the first six months of fiscal year 2024, 58% of TVA's power supply was carbon-free — coming from nuclear, hydroelectric and other renewables.

Operating and maintenance expense increased by $106 million over the same period last year, driven primarily by increased labor and contract labor costs. Depreciation and amortization expense was $32 million lower than the same period last year, primarily due to the Bull Run Fossil Plant fully depreciating in the fourth quarter of 2023.

"Our customers continue to benefit from TVA's low effective rates," said John Thomas, TVA Chief Financial and Strategy Officer. "TVA's strong financial results and diverse power system are helping keep the cost of power low today, even as we make substantial investments to ensure reliable, affordable power and build the energy system of the future."

Interest expense was $528 million for the first half of fiscal year 2024, or $2 million lower than the same period last year. TVA's net income was $434 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, $285 million higher than the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower operating expenses.
