The Financing of Tva
THE FINANCING OF TVA ARNOLD R. JoNEs* INTRODUCTION The Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) investment in power, flood control, navigation, chemical, and other fixed assets exceeds two and a half billion dollars. Capital expenditures are expected to reach $i6o million in the current fiscal year -i 9 6i-and will probably exceed $200 million next year. Capital expenditures of about the same range are expected during each year for the foreseeable future. Power revenue in fiscal 196o was $242 million; fertilizer revenue was $17 million. Expendi- tures for operation and maintenance of all programs were $i7o million last year but will increase steadily as the power system and other activities grow. These figures offer a glimpse of the size of TVA's financing responsibility. Large as the expenditures are, they are dwarfed by those of many government agencies. It is not, however, the size of TVA's expenditures that is of most interest. The interest in TVA's financing centers on its methods and policies; for a government agency, they have been unique. TVA now has three sources of funds: (i) appropri- ations, (2) revenues, and (3) electric power bonds. Each source will be discussed in this paper. The fact that TVA may use its revenues and bond proceeds without an- nual appropriation by Congress is of great importance in the stability of its self- financed activities. It is the purpose of this article to review these methods and policies, past and future, identifying the important ways in which they are unique and have contributed to effective management.
